Serious question for DUers

[malaise]

Why doesn't the Supreme Court expedite all cases related to matters impeachment and other outstanding cases linked to Don the Con and his goons?

[mopinko]

1. yeah, that's a good question.

i feel like they want to duck this shit, but i suspect the only way he complies is to hear it from them. i dont think they want to be in the middle.
they need to grow up.

2. Usually one or both parties have to request an expedited hearing.

[bluestarone]

6. Just wondering

Would we know if one or the other made such a request?

[BlueJac]

3. They are Don's backup,

They are doing a bad job being impartial

[moondust]

4. Um...

because the majority of SCOTUS wants to help Dump get away with his high crimes and misdemeanors?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

5. perhaps it's a demonstration of power

They are, after all, the SUPREME Court. Maybe they are above such petty concerns as autocracy versus democracy or unlawful presidents seeking dictatorial powers.

7. Rhetorical, right? Supreme Court Justices' political leanings 5 conservative; 4 liberal, perhaps

..that's at play when it comes to guy. In WH; which btw is frightening for other issues that affect the American public. I realize they take an oath and should be unbiased--well, so did odious racist, bigot, mysogynist, self admitted sexual predator and traitor, the now impeached guy in WH--how's that working for us?

Sorry l, dont mean to be flipant, my rheotirc antenna seems to be off these days. Just being facetious among friends. Paz

8. Because abortion.

For utterly bizarre (but apparently correct) reasons, GOPers believe Trump will finally enact their anti-choice agenda. He is 100% transactional, so they clearly read the room correctly. SMH.

9. Justices like to pick their 'spots'?

[stopdiggin]

10. traditionally the court is RELUCTANT to wade in to a turf war

between contending (and supposedly co-equal) branches of government. Much preferring that the two sides come to agreement through compromise or accommodation. That's just history.

In THIS case .. it looks very much like they won't really be able to avoid some kind of position or stance .. because one side has pushed the issue up to limits the system can accommodate and still function. But they will still be reluctant in this duty.
(and there remains the question whether all members of the court actually SEE this as their duty)
