Seems like “No we will not delay this because Trump was convicted for actions prior to his presidency” would have been a reasonable response.

Deal with it now. Makes for simpler appeals process.

I hardly think one of these felonies constitutes an “official” act as President.

That isn’t correct; every single check and false record was cut or created after Inauguration Day and prosecutors used evidence to convict him, which SCOTUS says is presumptively not allowed. Cleanest disposal is waiver because he didn’t raise it in time.

The payments to Cohen were made while he was president, though? So the actual crimes happened while he was president. But even this court couldn't possibly call those official acts.

Agreed. Does every SCOTUS ruling just break every judge's brain?

The problem is that the prosecution introduced evidence dating from after the beginning of Trump's presidency that may be inadmissible now according to the SC decision
