As a practical matter, the move means that the full report will almost certainly not be made available before the 2020 election, if at all. In May, the court blocked release of the report while the appeal moved forward.
The court will probably hear arguments in the case in the late fall, after the election, and issue its decision next year.
I suppose that if Trump manages to remain in the whitehouse past January 2021, there will be arguments about how it’s all moot, even if it it would have been horribly,. horribly damaging.
Exactly. It’s not even possible to make sense of it anymore. It’s just (gestures wildly) 2020. It’ll find a way to bite us, whatever that takes. Even if that’s Republicans supporting Democrats or social media supporting 3rd parties.
Y’know, we really need to disable the corporate sponsorship of government before more than two parties are actually recognized in this country. And that sponsorship, as carried forth by the media, is of course going to take any party that isn’t D or R and make them appear to be radical loonies by choosing examples of extremists from those parties to show off to the public. Until we get a major corporation to come out behind the Greens or the Libertarians or the Pastafarians, et al, we are stuck with Biden or Trump, and any future D or R candidates.
I say, take the corporate sponsorship, USE IT as the corporations have used the people, and turn around and dismantle the corporation, using its own resources.
