Trump Plans Emergency Appeal to Block His Sentencing This Friday

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : Even if the appellate court acts quickly and denies his appeal today, Trump still has other options.
38% : Again, Trump doesn't have to win on the merits here, he just has to drag this out for 10 more days and the case will stall, probably forever.
33% : The New York case is a state-level case but it's unlikely that any action will happen on it after Trump is sworn into office.
31% : Once he's sworn in as president, the whole case will freeze and Trump will never be formally declared a felon (though as you've probably noticed, Democrats have been calling him that for months).
18% : Trump's legal team has attempted to get the case overturned but instead of doing that, Merchan decided he would hold the sentencing this Friday but also revealed that Trump would not be getting any jail time or even probation.
17% : The whole point of this, and the reason Trump's team is trying to stop it, is that once he's sentenced Trump technically becomes a felon.
