Wrong!

Well you have a 32% chance of winning in the SCOTUS.
According to Ballotpedia, the Supreme Court has a 68% reversal rate for cases originating from the District of Columbia Circuit.

The Impeachment Judgment Clause merely
states that “the Party convicted” shall nevertheless be subject
to criminal prosecution. The text says nothing about non-
convicted officials. Former President Trump’s reading rests on
a logical fallacy: Stating that “if the President is convicted, he
can be prosecuted,” does not necessarily mean that “if the
President is not convicted, he cannot be prosecuted.” See, e.g.,
N.L.R.B. v. Noel Canning, 573 U.S. 513, 589 (2014) (Scalia, J.,
concurring) (explaining “the fallacy of the inverse (otherwise
known as denying the antecedent): the incorrect assumption
that if P implies Q, then not-P implies not-Q”).

Melania, you are wrong, again.

Oooops!
Breaking news
Trump is not immune from criminal charges.
No link, it is on my local news.
Trump was President on J6th
There is a good chance the Supremes will not take the case. There are no judicial or logical problems with the court ruling. When the Reds went after Bill, they opened that door.
I don’t think they will hear the case. I think Trump’s lawyers’ argument was ridiculous.It'll be interesting to see how his pet justices at SCOTUS rule when he begs them to fix this.
So Biden could have Seal team 6 kill Trump and if some Dems, in the Senate were considering impeaching him, he could tell them, they will be killed too before they can vote and kill them off as necessary to ensure no impeachment can be completed.
Is that what you are arguing the law is?
So, now it goes to the Supreme Court, which will rule the same way. But by the time that is all said and done... we will have voted and maybe have elected him President... You'll have to wait.
Nope. The Supreme Court has to stay the ruling to prevent the trial from moving forward. I don't see them willing to argue that it is likely Trump will prevail in his argument that a President has absolute immunity.
The Judges that heard his argument were all Democrats nominated by Democrats. Don't get your hopes up Joe.
There was a reason that the prosecutor wanted to skip this step and go directly to the Supremes, and why Trump and his lawyers wanted the appeals court to rule on it first... and it wasn't because this way would be faster. The reality. You will find that this will be appealed... and you will have to wait.
Going straight to the Supremes would have avoided the Appeals court so it would be a final ruling today from the Supremes.
The issue is unless there is a stay, then the lower court can proceed to trial.
A stay is only supposed to be issued if the the court thinks the person appealing will win. I believe the stay requires at least 4 justices to agree to the stay.
The Court could take the appeal but allow the trial to go forward or the court could just refuse to take the appeal.

Just repeating what you said before with more wind doesn't make it more right.
There was a reason that the prosecutor wanted to skip the appeals court and go straight to SCOTUS and it was because he wanted it done quicker. There was a reason that Trump and his lawyers wanted them to have to go through the process, it was because it will take longer...
We will see if I am correct, but I will once more repeat with the same words because they mean the same thing in this post as in the last two...: You are going to have to wait.
It’s very likely the Supreme Court will refuse to review this case. If that’s the case, it will only take about three weeks five on the longest.
The district court wrote a very long and detailed opinion. The Supremes may decide it is sufficient. I would be shocked if they overruled and found for Trump.
