Merchan will dismiss the arguments out of hand; the First Department won't issue a decision before the election. If Trump goes to jail, he can file a habeas petition in SDNY which might get more immediate traction (it shouldn't, but apparently Trump gets to skip the line in Federal Court).

Also... it is a state crime, not federal
