Thursday’s decision to allow his New York sentencing to go forward is only the latest time the court has been asked to assess Trump’s power. Two votes were predictable.

In the first test of how receptive the court may be to Trump, 4 of the court's 6 conservative members said they would have granted his emergency request.

Donald Trump’s request to halt his sentencing in his New York hush money case has been denied by the Supreme Court, meaning that Trump will face sentencing on Friday, and will likely be sworn in as the first president of the United States to be a convicted felon.
