The Supreme Court could “back away” from taking on former President Donald Trump’s appeal due to upcoming cases that are already “very politically charged” in nature, according to CNN’s senior Supreme Court analyst Joan Biskupic.
A federal appeals court in Washington, DC, has given Trump until February 12 to ask the Supreme Court to block their ruling about whether he is immune from criminal prosecution.
“They don't like to be involved in any kind of election cases, and their past cases with Donald Trump have all been fraught and very difficult to resolve,” Biskupic said.
If the Supreme Court decides to hear the case, it could be several more weeks or months before a decision is made.
The court is already set to hear arguments on Thursday on whether the 14th Amendment would remove Trump from state ballots under the “insurrectionist ban” in the amendment.
