The only issue going into this was whether they would give him the delays he wants.
We got the answr to that when SCOTUS responded to the DOJ's request for an expedited hearing within a few hours.
A few HOURS. Appeals can take years.
While I don't have the stats handy, I think it's safe to say that the Supreme Court rarely responds that fast.
Delay helps Trump and they know it.
Rant over.
