The most likely effect of the Supreme Court's decision is to push the odds of Trump getting anything other than a suspended sentence way down. It's effectively going to be a suspended sentence while appeals are pending, anyway, but judges hedge if they think something is likely to be overturned.
If you're a state trial judge and you get a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be personally overturned by SCOTUS in a ruling that would never in a million years ever reach them if it weren't for who the defendant is ... you take it. That's judicial immortality.
