The ruling is significant not only for its stark repudiation of Trump’s novel immunity claims but also because it breathes life back into a landmark prosecution that had been effectively frozen for weeks as the court considered the appeal.

Yet the one-month gap between when the court heard arguments and issued its ruling has already created uncertainty about the timing of a trial in a calendar-jammed election year, with the judge overseeing the case last week canceling the initial March 4 date.

Trump’s team vowed to appeal, which could postpones the case by weeks or months — particularly if the Supreme Court agrees to take it up. The judges gave Trump a week to ask the Supreme Court to get involved.

    On the day that you were born… The supremes got together and decided to make your dreams come true! Just like me, they long to be… Close to you!

    In the words of George Carlin… Just a little song I wrote myself. I don’t mean I wrote the song to myself. I mean I myself wrote the god damn song!

    And adjustment to prior art really.
