&lt;i&gt;Yes I am kidding... &lt;/i&gt;

You mean you don&#039;t think Biden should send NSWDG to New York tomorrow instead of Mar-a-Lago!? Heh. 

&lt;i&gt;These clowns still don&#039;t realize that whatever godlike powers they claim the traitor possesses are available for Uncle Joe right now. &lt;/i&gt;

Uncle Joe would never do anything untoward like that, but I wouldn&#039;t put anything past Dark Brandon. ;)

Seriously, though, I wish Donald Trump a loooooooooong life traveling from court to court, civil and criminal, back and forth, to and fro&#039; and back again until he&#039;s paid monetarily to each and every, all and singular of We the People of the United States whom he&#039;s injured physically and/or attempted to defraud monetarily and to disenfranchise because he&#039;s simply too small of a man and a pathetic turncoat to America with a miniscule ego that could not handle the fact he&#039;s a loser.</description>

&lt;i&gt;Kick always manages to cut right to the critical issue.&lt;/i&gt;

I try, even if I sometimes get wordy and obnoxious in the attempt. 

&lt;i&gt;How about if Biden sends Seal Team 6 to Mar a Lago to whack the traitor and then let the legal system run its course. I like it. &lt;/i&gt;

You&#039;re kidding, right!? 

Trump is (reportedly) going to be in Judge Engoron&#039;s court TOMORROW &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; giving closing arguments in the fraud trial he&#039;s already lost... send NSWDG to New York. ;)

&lt;i&gt;&quot;Her emails&quot; are not what did her in. &lt;/i&gt;

I see you saw the words &quot;her emails&quot; and then proceeded to (not surprisingly) miss the entire point of the post. 

You should allow her emails to stop doing you in. :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;I gather the court could stipulate that any further appeal must be made within a specified time. I hope so.&lt;/i&gt;

When the panel of 3 judges issues their ruling that will (spoiler alert) &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; grant absolute immunity to current POTUS Joseph Biden or any presidents past or future, living or deceased, the court will then issue a Writ of Mandamus that sends the case back to the lower Court, Judge Chutkan, and automatically ends the stay. Jack Smith has asked that the appeals court issue the writ only &lt;b&gt;five days&lt;/b&gt; after it renders its decision.

So when Trump loses (again), he will then have to take further action to secure a new stay (delay) pending further review by the full appellate court en banc or to the Supreme Court, depending on the Writ of Mandamus. The appellate panel could rule that the mandate will issue five (or maybe up to 10) days after its judgment regardless whether a petition for rehearing en banc or a petition for certiorari petition is filed to SCOTUS, and if that is the case, there&#039;s no incentive to petition for rehearing en banc because there&#039;s no stay (delay) granted. Then Trump will likely file a petition for certiorari with the SCOTUS within five (or maybe up to 10) days after the judgment whereupon he loses (again). If he&#039;s given a stay by the panel, he&#039;ll obviously (attempt to) delay as long as he can. 

I hope that makes sense. 

&lt;i&gt;It would of course be ironic justice if the delaying tactics mean a seriously adverse judgement at just the right time to scupper his chances--think of the &#039;her emails&#039; timing. &lt;/i&gt;

Good point. I certainly would never be one to rule out Trump being hoisted by his own petard. :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;Their ruling is now seen as almost a foregone conclusion -- the only real question is whether it will be a 3-0 unanimous decision or whether one of the judges might dissent. &lt;/i&gt;

If you want to know how ridiculous it would be for Trump to prevail on the immunity issue, imagine Jack Smith&#039;s team appealing to the SCOTUS requesting a decision post haste before the current President &lt;b&gt;lawfully&lt;/b&gt; requests the execution of his political opponent, one Donald J. Trump.

Poor Donald is now whining that if he doesn&#039;t have immunity, then neither does Biden; what he&#039;s seemingly failed to factor in is that Biden is the &lt;b&gt;current president&lt;/b&gt; who obviously has the Senate and therefore the immunity to hoist Trump by his own petard.</description>
