Trump Legal Investigations / Re: Mark Levin: Trump Should Immediately Appeal Any Conviction to SCOTUS
« Last post by Maj. Bill Martin on Today at 03:55:48 am »My thoughts are there has never been a case like this in the history of the US, ie - a former President and front runner for the next President, to be convicted in a state court.
One cannot simply use precedent to decide how this proceeds as the nation's laws are at stake.
And that means time involved is an extremely strong consideration in resolution of the matter.
I think you will only find the Supreme Court stepping in if a sentence is imposed and is not stayed pending appeal. Otherwise, if the sentence is stayed, there is no urgent need to hear the appeal.
The Supreme Court really needs the NY appellate system to take the first cracks at this conviction on the merits.
