Supreme Court goes idle on Trump-related disputes and time is running out

November 18, 2020

WASHINGTON - Has the Supreme Court hit the pause button on all things Trump? Nor has the court acted on a separate request from the Trump campaign, pending for a week, to intervene in the case. (A state court has ruled that some of the votes cannot be counted anyway, and Biden has a lead of more than 50,000 votes.) But Dorf said it is likely the court would want to settle that issue before an election, not afterward. And if the court takes no action to expedite the Pennsylvania case, it may not come before the court until next year.
