Judge Chutkan's Rapid Checkmate
- Judge Chutkan set an accelerated briefing schedule after Trump's motion to stay, compressing deadlines to produce a quick ruling.
- Michael Popok predicts she will likely deny the stay and keep the March 4 trial on track.
Prepare For Compressed Deadlines
- Expect immediate filings: DOJ must oppose by Sunday and Trump must reply by Tuesday under Chutkan's schedule.
- Prepare for a likely quick denial and rapid appeal to the D.C. Court of Appeals if the stay is refused.
From Trial Court To Random Appellate Panel
- A trial judge's denial of a stay shifts the fight to the D.C. Court of Appeals, which uses a randomly assigned three-judge panel.
- That appellate panel will determine whether the trial judge abused her discretion in denying the stay.
