Ladies and gentlemen, the Supreme Court has denied Missouri AG Andrew Bailey's longshot attempt to delay the sentencing and drop the gag order in Trump's hush money case. The sentencing is set to take place on September 18 at the earliest.

The court rejected Missouri's bid to sue the state of New York, meaning the justices will not lift the gag order or delay sentencing in the unusual claim brought by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, a Republican who is running for a full term this fall …

The brief order noted that two conservative justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, would have allowed the state to at least file its lawsuit directly at the Supreme Court although they would not grant the emergency relief that Bailey wanted. That tracks their approach in similar cases involving one state suing another.

As for Donald Trump, he plans to appeal the conviction — all 34 counts of falsifying business records — though he could end up in prison if the sentencing doesn't go his way.

This means, and I'm not exaggerating, Trump could literally run for president while in prison.
