SCOTUS denied Jack Smith’s effort to get a SCOTUS review of Trump’s absolute immunity claim immediately.
SCOTUS will wait until after DC Circuit hears arguments on January 9, decides the issue, and then they’ll take it up at their leisure, when they’re not taking rich vacations with right wing donors.
This is the easiest of all decisions before SCOTUS, because by taking the case right away, they might make all their other decisions easier.
But instead, they’re stalling.
