OK, so Special Counsel Jack Smith is asking the Supreme
Court to rule quickly on whether former President Trump can
be prosecuted on charges that he plotted to overturn the
election
of 2020. Federal judge ruled the case could go forward,
but Mr. Trump signaled he would ask a federal appeals
court to reverse that decision.
Smith is trying to keep the March 4th start date
on track and prevent any delays that could push the
case after next year's election.
The earliest the Supreme Court would consider the appeal would
be January 5th.
