Sounds like nobody challenged it or the prior courts had a different opinion.
Cannon got this from Thomas. So I expect this to go up the court system

Multiple folks have challenged it, every ruling prior to this had ruled that this was a nonsense claim.
We both know it’s not actually a constitutional challenge, it’s a delay in the hope trump wins the presidency and can, once again, avoid repercussions for his actions.

SCOTUS may have a different take this one. Maybe not. To me it’s telling only Thomas wrote about it.

And zero other justices decided it was a legitimate enough thought to agree with. (Typically, when a Justice writes an opinion like that, others will also sign it. It is telling that none chose to do so.)
But, if we are taking judges rulings as gospel, does that mean both of us admit that donald trump has committed sexual assault and in a different sexual criminal case, paid hush money to the pornstar with whom he cheated on his wife? Just curious!
