Papa Doc has no shot here. This is pure grift.

(Such stays are standard and it’s only for about a week. I believe the panel is 3 Obama appointees.)

Is the appeal panel 3 Obama appointees?
It’d be like the opposite of The Apprentice. No one wants to win. The goal is to be the first one blocked.
I don’t think he is… at least from the interview he did on The Daily Show. He could’ve been full of shit but he came across reasonably.
At the Mueller hearing he danced really close to the QAnon line that everyone else was doing (the whole dumb Mifsud line), but he appeared to not be feeling it and moved into more substantive matters without saying anything overt. He provided the biggest moment of that hearing, albeit probably unintentionally.
Yes, Millett, Pillard, and Wilkins, the panel assigned to the case, are all Obama appointees. https://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/home.nsf/Content/Judges
How long until you think it gets to SC, because he’s for sure losing this?
I wouldn’t be surprised if the DC Cir. issues some form of opinion by mid-November. It’s even possible they affirm from the bench with opinion to follow. Then the DOJ would need to request an emergency stay from the Supreme Court. I believe that would require 5 votes. (“The Supreme Court has its own set of rules. According to these rules, four of the nine Justices must vote to accept a case. Five of the nine Justices must vote in order to grant a stay, e.g., a stay of execution in a death penalty case.”)
So, it’s not unlikely that the DC Cir. affirms the district court around mid-Nov. Then, then the DOJ seeks a stay in the SCt, which will likely reject the application for a stay within a week. So it’s probably over by Thanksgiving.
But, if the SCt does grant a stay, no way briefing is done and a decision issued until Mid-Feb or early March. That’s likely past the date for an impeachment trial in the Senate, and it would make things weird.
Is there any mechanism that it can be “fast tracked”? I know the SC has a lot of important cases, but this one seems like it would be way more important than others.
