Benjamin Zipursky was quoted in a Politico article about the current sexual misconduct lawsuit against President Trump.
“The more prominent, the more controversial the case is, the more pressure I think would be on the court to grant the stay,“ said Fordham law professor Benjamin Zipursky.
Zipursky said it is possible that as the number of suits involving Trump grows, the Supreme Court may consider weighing in, especially in light of criticism that its 1997 ruling understated the threat of a wave of litigation distracting a president from his duties.
“I don’t think it’s implausible, that if it keeps climbing through the courts, that at the end the Supreme Court would be willing to take it,” the professor said. “It could take years.”
