As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, final evening Donald Trump filed an emergency utility to the Supreme Courtroom asking the excessive courtroom to overrule a part of the Eleventh Circuit’s order within the Mar-A-Lago warrant case. Particularly, the temporary makes a pendent appellate jurisdiction argument that the appellate courtroom can’t evaluation the particulars of what’s earlier than Particular Grasp Raymond Dearie.
Within the temporary, Trump legal professional Chris Kise makes a really restricted argument, astutely characterised by Steve Vladeck as one thing a great legal professional does so as to appease an terrible shopper, “The jurisdictional argument is slender, technical, and non-frivolous. It’s a means of submitting *one thing* within the Supreme Courtroom with out going all the way in which to crazytown and/or performing unethically.”
And should you’ve spent any quantity of the final 24 hours anxious concerning the submitting, I recommend you learn Vladeck’s whole Twitter thread as he particulars why the argument isn’t prone to be a winner, and even whether it is, it’s not a giant deal. Then you may flip your anxiousness again to the gasoline disaster OPEC has artificially created to tank the midterm elections. Wheeee — what a time to be ALIVE!
1. Having totally digested Trump’s emergency utility to #SCOTUS, here is a fast #thread on what it is actually asking for, why it isn’t *totally* laughable, and why I nonetheless assume that it is each (1) doomed to fail; and (2) unlikely to perform a lot even when it succeeds:

However that doesn’t imply we should always simply ignore the temporary. As Lawrence O’Donnell identified on his MSNBC present final evening, there’s one thing attention-grabbing on web page 30 of the SCOTUS utility:
“In describing Donald Trump’s relationship to those paperwork, after saying of their Supreme Courtroom enchantment tonight, as soon as once more, that this case is, ‘primarily a doc storage dispute,’ the Trump attorneys, on web page 30, went on to say ‘the Authorities has sought to criminalize President Trump’s possession and administration of his personal private and presidential information.’”
And, possessing the categorized paperwork is a giant no-no… which is why filings have beforehand averted that exact flip of phrase.
Try O’Donnell’s take under.
