On November 26, 2019, Senator PrelateZeratul (R) released his Supreme Court Report. In that report, he reviewed the seven pending matters before the United States Supreme Court. Of those matters, all but two have faced significant delays.

Sen. Zeratul began by reiterating the relevant rules of the Supreme Court regarding timing:

Per Rule 10, 1. a respondent’s brief has to be submitted within fourdays [sic] of cert being granted, the petitioner may respond within four days of that (Rule 10, 2.), and the respondent may respond within four days of that (Rule 10, 3.). Per Rule 10, 4. oral arguments start once cert is granted and last fourteen days. Sen. Zeratul in “Prelate’s Supreme Court Report of November 26, 2019“

He then noted that five of the current pending matters have been significantly delayed for no apparent reason. For example, In re: Executive Order 012 (Ending Conversion Therapy) has seen no developments since October 19, 2019–over a month–when the Court denied then-Rep. Dewey Cheatem’s (Soc-List) motion to intervene.

Of particular concern has been the Court’s delays in punitive matters. In relation to the Court’s Order to Show Cause issued to /u/caribofthedead and associated aliases, there has been no action since November 5, 2019, when under an alias /u/caribofthedead filed his response to the Order. According to some sources, the Court’s decision has been written for some time; the delay has been due entirely to certain members of the Court taking weeks to inform the court clerk of their decision. [Note: it has come to Model SCOTUSblog’s attention that the Court has just rendered its decision. More updates on that shortly.]

Likewise, in United States v. Tucklet, a criminal matter, the Court issued a “tentative” schedule under which trial would have begun on November 20, 2019–over a week ago. Yet there have been no updates from the Court since that time, despite pending requests from the parties:

[Justice RestrepoMU] then directed both parties to answer 4 questions by November 12th, 2019. No answers to the questions were ever received. Comped answered the questions and raised some point about discovery that RestrepoMU shot down. On November 14th, 2019 (Note two days after the deadline) Zairn requested pre-trial motions be extended to November 17th, 2019 and indicated the defence’s argument would be done by then. RestrepoMU never answered him, Zairn never submitted defence’s arguments, and neither him or Ibney ever answered the questions. Sen. Zeratul in “Prelate’s Supreme Court Report of November 26, 2019”

Given these delays–and others–in combination with the Republican majority in the Senate and House of Representatives, some have wondered whether Articles of Impeachment may result arising from the Court’s denial to Mr. Tucklet of his right to a speedy trial, among other allegations.
