A nonpartisan watchdog organization is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hurry up and decide former President Donald Trump’s last-ditch appeal for presidential immunity over his Jan. 6 charges.

In a brief filed this week, Common Cause says the high court’s own schedule, so far, has “facilitated” Trump’s “strategy of delay.”

“To avoid the appearance that this Court is favoring the election of Mr. Trump by indulging his requests for delay, it should decide this appeal as soon as possible after oral argument and issue its mandate forthwith,” the amicus, or friend of court, brief filed Monday reads.
