Opinion basically comes down to "official actions are immune, unofficial aren't" and the court says that since lower courts have not made a determination on that question, they need to go do that. Beyond me to determine how feasible that is, but absolutely delays the trial.

100% kicking the can to guarantee a delay until after the election without appearing blatantly political

They don't control the district court's schedule, so I wouldn't say "guarantee" but that's their hope yes.

Do you think it delays the DC trial past the election?

No idea, I'm not an expert on federal court procedure at all, but it definitely delays it!

Unquestionably, partly because there’s a 0% chance the District Court’s rulings will be allowed to stand unappealed.
