They take their responsibility so very seriously.
Doing the right thing weighs heavily upon them.

So it will probably take until next December.

Something like, ' We can expect a ruling sometime December 45, one hundred and forty years from now.'

The court can do the same. With that thought in mind, I expect they will double the time to 60 days, that should all but eliminate any federal Trump trial pre-election which is their only goal for taking this appeal.

That court will require at least a month to review, so now we’re at the end of July or into August. Trump will appeal and the SC will agree to take the appeal when their next term starts in October. Hearings will be scheduled for November after the election. If Trump wins, they cheer and say the case is now moot because Trump’s DOJ will dismiss all cases. If he loses, they may try to find a way to do another Bush-Gore scenario and appoint him as president. There will be no prosecutions before the election, and I think that may include Georgia.

They don't follow laws or rules.

Clarence Thomas is corrupt.

He did not recuse himself.

The other "judges" did not address or request Clarence recuse himself.

Gorsuch accepted a stolen seat proving he has zero integrity.

Amy Coney Barrett was rushed to be seated by the trump cult.

They will do what they want, when they want.

It is apparent that they rule the entire country.

Nine unelected judges with lifetime appointments should not have control over 333 million people.

Fuck the supreme court.

The system is broken.

The people who intentionally broke it will never be held accountable.
