Starting in January the Supreme Court will have to deal with Trump no matter how they have tried to avoid it. How about some Constitutional crisis to open the year ?!!
3 major cases are coming up that will have to be decided before the primary season begins in February -March.
The first one Inspector Javert Jack Smith has asked SCOTUS to decide if Trump enjoys executive immunity from prosecution. Smith wants a quick decision because the DC trial is scheduled to begin in March.
SCOTUS agreed to fast track that decision bypassing the normal appeals process.

They have already also agreed to make a decision on some of the appeals from the January 6 riot cases. How those cases are settled could have an impact on Smith's charges against Trump.
It involves his charge that Trump "corruptly obstructing an official proceeding ".

The last one has not officially been appealed yet . But I expect an appeal within days.
It is this nonsense in Colorado where the State Supreme Court (or rather 4 of 7 justices ) has decided that Trump can be removed from the November ballot in the state based on incredibly fanciful interpretations of the 14th amendment insurrection clause. The state is scheduled to print it's primary ballots January 5 . So if SCOTUS is to hear the case it will be by the 1st week in January .
The Compost's Ruth Marcos argues that SCOTUS should toss the case unanimously and that Trump should remain on the ballot.

I completely agree . It was a sad day in 2000 when the court had to intervene in the Presidential election. It set a terrible precedent that has impacted every Presidential election since .
Do we believe in the democratic process or not ? If yes then we need to honor the people's choices right or wrong. This is especially true in this case where the state court invented charges ;and they are the judge ,jury and executioner against Trump for crimes he has never been charged with.
