Question, Donald Trump is a USA citizen, no significance at all, so if he can go to the Supreme Court:

At any time and get a quick response, can I do the same thing? Example, a speeding ticket, a parking ticket, banking issue, other? If not, why not?

The Supreme Court is the court of last resort. You could absolutely go to them, but only once you have been through the local court and appeals court that has jurisdiction. And it would have to be a federal issue, not a state issue. State issues like the ones you mention are normally handled through the state court system, including the state supreme court, unless there is an issue involving a dispute between several states.

@windinhishair I see, but didn’t SCzOTUS take up his whining about the State of New York’s legal activities against him?

@BackyardShaman He asked the appeals court in August to stop the investigation of his falsification of property valuations. That has not happened, and the Supreme Court has not intervened.

This is all part of a very predictable process to gum up all investigations by filing lawsuit after lawsuit, appealing every decision that doesn't go his way as many times as possible, and refusing to comply with subpoenas. He has done this his whole like.

The document case is being fast tracked. This happens occasionally when a ruling must be appealed immediately to avoid being moot. For example, if someone is suing to take grandma off a ventilator and a judge approves it, waiting for an appeal means grandma will be dead by then, so the case is fast tracked.

@LeopoldBloom but, they seem to be fast tracking almost every case that politically benefits the far right wing, and nothing else.

@BackyardShaman I wouldn't say it "benefits" Trump to have the 11th circuit overrule judge Loose Cannon. But you're right, the shadow docket is a way for the court to change the rules without even having to sign their name. If the Democrats hang onto Congress, they could at least put a stop to that.

The supreme court has limits on the kinds of cases they can hear and prioritize.

I think historically that disputes between the press have been priority because of the stakes in the game. DT wasn't the issue but his former office and how much power a former prez has as far as executive privilege goes is a priority.

I doubt many if any like him or the drama the is his is appreciated by any of the cloaked ones.

He paid a (relatively) lot of money to file an application for review for a speeding ticket.

You could theoretically do the same, but the filing fees, and publishing fees only get him into the system and didn't get Thomas' attention.

In short, I really doubt you and Trump practically have equal rights, no matter what the theoretical ideas may be by liberal eggheads.

If my memory serves me right anyone can appeal to the SCOTUS. It doesn't mean they will take up the case. Alot of times they just refer it back down to the lower courts.

@SW-User since judge cannon did this, it will now be the routine for everyone 😂
