He loses at District court, he can appeal to Circuit Court of Appeals. Lose there, file writ to SCOTUS. But they hear less than 1% of cases that file writ. Going direct to SCOTUS is an extreme remedy for injunctive relief. He has no case for that here. If his lawyers filed some emergency brief to SCOTUS, it would be denied almost immediately. So it will take years through the system.
August 4, 20233 yr Thinking about this, I guess an insane plan could be to file a motion to stay the trials until after the election. To get a stay/injunction, you need to demonstrate irreparable harm. I guess he'd argue that by allowing the trial to take place during the Presidential election, he would suffer irreparable harm if it cost him the election. No court would grant it. None. You don't have a Constitutional right to run for President. Furthermore, if he loses in 2024, he'll announce his 2028 run the next day to have the same argument. The idea that any criminal defendant could simply announce a run for office to avoid prosecution is insane. And then people would stretch the precedent -- I'll suffer irreparable harm if I miss work and don't get a promotion. But this moron might try it and get rejected.

August 5, 20233 yr Prosecutors ask judge to issue protective order after Trump post appearing to promise revenge The Justice Department on Friday asked a federal judge overseeing the criminal case against former President Donald Trump in Washington to step in after he released a post online that appeared to promise revenge on anyone who goes after him. Prosecutors asked U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan to issue a protective order in the case a day after Trump pleaded not guilty to charges of trying to overturn his 2020 election loss and block the peaceful transition of power. The order — which is different from a so-called "gag order” — would limit what information Trump and his legal team could share publicly about the case brought by special counsel Jack Smith. Such protective orders are common in criminal cases, but prosecutors said it's "particularly important in this case” because Trump has posted on social media about "witnesses, judges, attorneys, and others associated with legal matters pending against him." Prosecutors pointed specifically to a post on Trump's Truth Social platform from earlier Friday in which Trump wrote, in all capital letters, "If you go after me, I’m coming after you!”
