It’s been a week since the Supreme Court briefing was completed in Donald Trump’s bid to keep the federal election interference case paused. And yet, we still haven’t heard from the justices. So, what’s going on? I explored a similar question last month while we waited for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit panel to rule on the immunity issue, noting the possibility that “the panel is taking time to synthesize any disagreement into a single, coherent opinion.

Of those two options, denial seems more likely, but even that could lead to dissent — probably written by one or more Republican appointees — which could prolong the timeline of when the court issues that denial. But the justices have more tools at their disposal than those two options. For example, even though Trump hasn’t filed his appeal yet, the court could treat his stay application as an appeal. That would present the court with different sub-options.
