Nothing is going to happen. Some court/judge will step in just before the deadline, says this needs a stay despite the lack of an official appeal request from the defendent. It will need a close examination due to "the historical nature of the case" or some such bullshit. Schedule a review date in October 2024, which will get rescheduled to 2025 because reasons. Then Trump will go spouting everywhere that he beat the courts and "won" his case.

This guy is part of the protected class, for whatever reason.

I hope I'm wrong. But I know, deep down in my plums I'm right.

LOL, that's not how any of this works. Judges don't get out of bed in the morning and go looking for cases to fuck with. And this case is over, it is no longer in front of any court.

Even if you somehow don't believe that, Trump sure does. Why do you think he lashing out and shitting his pants?

For the record, the predictions in my comment have started. Severely reduced bond amount and an extra 10 days. The appeals court stepped in, even without an appeal.

Hot damn the prediction man.

You were wrong.

I'm saving this comment since I'm afraid you're right, downvotes be damned.

It's headed to appeal, it's not over.

It has started :(

Trump is above the law.
