Is this judge out of touch? Why would they go crazy contesting the current president? Doesn't the president have the power to pardon anyone? Why not just pardon themselves and be done with it?

The New York State Supreme Court rejected Trump's request to postpone the 'hush money' case ruling

According to market news, on January 9, local time, the highest court in New York State—the New York Court of Appeals—rejected the incoming president Trump's request to suspend the ruling in his 'hush money' criminal case. It is reported that Trump's lawyer filed an emergency motion on January 8, requesting the U.S. Supreme Court to delay the sentencing originally scheduled for the 10th in the 'hush money' case. According to the New York Times, the U.S. Supreme Court has asked the New York State prosecution to respond to Trump's application by the morning of the 9th at the latest. This statement indicates that the U.S. Supreme Court may take action before the scheduled sentencing date.
