I doubt SCOTUS would touch this on appeal. The logic flies in the face of recent rulings. Even Trump’s AG used a special counsel. It should be quickly overturned by the appellate court
I’d put money on it. Because it won’t matter. By the time the appeal is heard and new dates come along, one of two things will have happened. Either Trump will have lost and it won’t matter to republicans that he is facing charges, or he will be president and will fire anyone in the justice department needed to get the charges dropped under the label of “official action”.

I would hope so but I wouldn’t put money on it.
