NEW: Special counsel Jack Smith files his SCOTUS brief in opposition to Trump's request for a stay in the presidential-immunity case—six days early
"A President’s alleged criminal scheme to overturn an election and thwart the peaceful transfer of power to his successor should be the last place to recognize a novel form of absolute immunity from federal criminal law."
And Trump gets his delay in his #jan6th #USAvsTrump trial. Argument will be made to #scotus for Trumps claims of immunity in weeks or months. Trial might be delayed until August
Here is the old timeline I posted back in Feb 6. We are now in the Left column. arguments are now April 22. So ALito was able to drag it out about a month. you can adjust it as you see fit.
But #Chutkan could have her starter gun loaded and everything ready to start the Trial as soon as #SCOTUS makes a decision because everyone got a few extra months
#USAvsTRUMP #jan6th trial restarting in 90 Days.
Judge #Chutkan has already announced that she will re-start the trial about 90 days after she gets it back, election calendar be damned. A briefing schedule for which acts immunity is claimed under the newly-announced rule can fit within that time.
Clock restarted in #USAvsTRUMP after #SCOTUS returns ruling to appeals court and they quickly send it back to Judge #Chutkan to reassess
Very likely not have any hearings until after the Election
mission accomplished by #FedSoc and team Trump

It's so strange that when ordinary people go to court, they have to just follow the judge's schedule, and if a lawyer has a problem the judge just rules on it then and there rather than setting a hearing for three months later.
Ordinary people do not spend Millions on lawyer fees to file frivolous appeals all the way to the Supreme court as a delay tactic
