General Discussion

But knowing what you are talking about is hardly a pre-requisite for misguided rage.

I'd like to take this opportunity to explain in detail how stupid your OP actually is.

This is Rule 13 of the relevant procedural rules:

Rule13. Review on Certiorari : Time for Petitioning

1. Unless otherwise provided by law, a petition for a writ of certiorari to review a judgment in any case, civil or criminal, entered by a state court of last resort or a United States court of appeals (including the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces) is timely when it is fled with the Clerk of this Court within 90 days after entry of the judgment. A petition for a writ of certiorari seeking review of a judgment of a lower state court that is subject to discre-tionary review by the state court of last resort is timely when it is fled with the Clerk within 90 days after entry of the order denying discretionary review.

------------

Okay, so, from the time of a Court of Appeals judgment, you get 90 days to file a petition for certiori (your argument as to why the Supreme Court should consider the case).

The judgment in question issued November 14:

Federal Appeals Court Allows Congress To Subpoena Trump Tax Returns

November 14, 20193:20 AM ET

So, under the normal rule, that petition would not be due until February 12, 2020.

The Supreme Court, however, has required that the petition be filed by December 5, 2019.

You are upset with this for reasons you don't make clear. You would have instead preferred to wait until February for this case to go forward, instead of next week.

Are you sure you know what side you are on?
