1. #McGahn case now makes three cases #SCOTUS can tee up to rule on by the time we hold the impeachment trial:

1. McGahn on the total immunity claim;

2. Vance grand jury on power of states over sitting president;

3. House Mazars case on Congress' power to get tax returns.
2. That pretty much covers the issues.

I went back to US v Nixon case where #SCOTUS ruled against Nixon on the White House tapes. I was curious how long it took.

The case was an appeal from Judge Sirica's district court order on a subpoena. He entered it on May 20, 1974.
3. Cert was granted on June 15, 1974. SCOTUS ruled on the case on July 24, 1974. Sixteen days later, Nixon resigned August 9, 1974.

If Roberts drags this out he will own all of Trump's crimes. His name will be infamous. I think he'l rule fast.
