I see the usual tools were going to grant it.  ACB and Roberts are smart enough to know how to not break things unnecessarily, and Marchant probably had an inkling they would reject the petition if there was not real cost for doing so.

Trump has to know that he doesn't have the mandate he had the first time around, even if he says otherwise.  Rejecting the petition is as clear a reminder as any that this is the case without necessarily restricting him.

I wonder how long until this gets appealed.  It wont hold up when it goes through the appeal process, so its really just a matter of time before its totally wiped out.

his lawyers have 30 days from sentencing to file an appeal

Why won't it hold up? Why is it that if he does something shitty, the immediate response is 'he didn't do it! he was framed! pudding!' ? 

If this was all Obama or Biden doing the exact same things, you'd be in here demanding the death penalty.

There's nothing to really wipe out as far as the sentence - he didn't get a fine, he didn't get jail time, he didn't even get probation.  He can't be resentenced to anything less.

As far as the conviction, he's been appealing that for months now and he hasn't had a whole lot of success.  He's not likely to get any headway on his conviction being overturned for presidential immunity because there is no way he can say it was done either while in office or as part of his duties as president.  Now that the trial is complete and verdict reached, they can't appeal for malicious prosecution.  He's going to have to appeal it based on other judicial irregularities, and such an appeal isn't likely to make it out of the state's appellate courts given the high profile nature of the trial.

Do try to keep up, dear.
