Big winner here: John Roberts
NEWS: SCOTUS will not immediately hear the case over Trump’s immunity claim in connection with the Jan. 6-related federal charges he faces in DC. The DC Circuit, however, has already expedited the appeal to be heard there in early January.

my bet: DC Circuit finds no immunity, SCOTUS denies cert, Roberts once again successfully passes on the hot potato

But this basically pushes back the March 4 date right?

No. If the appeals says no immunity. Things go as normal even if Trump files an appeal. Remember no one has a right to a Supreme Court hearing. So if they deny cert for the appeal no time is lost.
