*
Supreme
Court
rejects
Trump’s
attempt
to
halt
New
York
state
law
sentencing
on
“president-elect
immunity.”
There’s
no
rule
requiring
justices
to
note
their
dissent
from
this
one,
but
Alito,
Thomas,
Gorsuch,
and
Kavanaugh
wanted
to
make
the
record
clear
that
they
would
do
what
Trump
asks
even
if
there’s
zero
basis
in
law.

And
the
Eleventh
Circuit
tosses
Aileen
Cannon’s
nonsensical
effort
to
block
the
DOJ
from
releasing
the
special
counsel
report
on
the
Trump
investigation.
But
since
she’d
issued
a
stay
pending
appeal
that
lasted
longer
than
the
appeal
process,
the
stay
is
still
in
effect
for
the
next
few
days.
