New York prosecutors tell Supreme Court to allow Trump sentencing

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : If Trump is not sentenced by next Friday, questions remain as to whether he will have a hearing, given that his inauguration will commence on Jan. 20.
38% : Fahey pointed to numerous examples in which the president-elect argued that certain witness testimony during the May 2023 trial should not have been made to the jury, such as when former White House communications director Hope Hicks was called to the stand to testify about events that took place while Trump was in his first term in office.
37% : The legal scramble came as Trump is set to be sentenced Friday, just days before his inauguration.
35% : While the New York judge overseeing the case has signaled Trump will not face jail time, the sentencing marks a historic moment following his felony conviction.
35% : If the justices do not side with Trump's request to halt sentencing, Trump may attempt to take a collateral approach to his appeal by filing a writ of habeas corpus, which Fahey said would presumably head to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, and could result in an appeal once more to the justices.
31% : Despite these efforts, Trump remains on track to receive his sentence after a jury found him guilty in May of 34 felony counts for falsifying business records to conceal a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels in the run-up to the 2016 campaign.
20% : "Bragg argued that any trial errors can be addressed once Trump begins to appeal the guilty verdict against him, which cannot begin until after sentencing.
