Supreme Court gives Jack Smith a WEEK to oppose Trump's stall tactic

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Trump appointed three of the justices on the Court.
50% : That timetable now appears shot, but Trump could still go on trial before the November elections, depending in part on what the high court decides to do.
47% : 'Allowing President Trump to pursue en banc review in the D.C. Circuit will provide an opportunity for similar thoughtful consideration in the lower court before this Court addresses the novel, complex, and momentous issues at stake in this appeal,' Trump's lawyers wrote in their request for a stay.
44% : Not only did it rule against Trump, who called the decision 'nation-destroying,' but it set a clock ticking in a fashion that appeared designed to move things along.
41% : Trump wants to keep the trial frozen while he seeks an en banc review by the entire U.S. Court of Appeals.
38% : That was an outcome that a three-judge panel that ruled against Trump appeared eager to avoid by imposing its own deadline.
36% : Trump on Monday filed an emergency motion, asking the Supreme Court to put a hold on his election interference case that had been set to begin in March.
36% : The case accuses Trump of pressuring officials not to certify Joe Biden's 2020 election win during the run-up to the Jan 6.
34% : In that event, the schedule the justices might set could determine how soon a trial might begin, if indeed they agree with lower court rulings that Trump is not immune from prosecution.
32% : Trump, meanwhile, has repeatedly sought to delay the case.
30% : If Trump were to defeat President Joe Biden, he could potentially try to use his position as head of the executive branch to order a new attorney general to dismiss the federal cases he faces or even seek a pardon for himself.
