    So, you’re not going to want to hear this but SCOTUS is the court you appeal to after you lose at your state supreme court. SCOTUS rarely takes the case and even more rarely sides with the convicted person. If they vacate Trump’s conviction it would be incredibly hypocritical considering their treatment of other people with real problems with their convictions.

      I think it is required to be hypocritical if you are Republican.
