So it really happened.

Donald Trump has been convicted on 34 felony counts in the state of New York.

And there has been a lot of reaction to that news, including and especially outrage and accusations from Republicans.

But if I had to pick one response that is worth paying particularly close attention to, it would

be this comment from the country's highest ranking Republican.

I do believe the Supreme Court should step in obviously this is totally

unprecedented. People have to believe that justice is fair that there's equal justice under law.

They don't see that right now and I think that the justices on the court, I know many of them

personally, I think they're deeply concerned about that as we are.

So I think they'll set this

straight but it's going to take a while. Okay set aside for a moment that very

questionable bit about Speaker Johnson claiming to have a personal relationship with, presumably, the Conservatives on the High Court.

The Speaker of the House is saying that the Supreme Court should step in and overturn Donald Trump's conviction.

Can they do that?

Can the Supreme Court upend justice here?

Well, to answer that question,

we have to talk about what comes next

for the convicted former president.

First there's the sentencing. Trump is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11th.

He faces up to four years in prison though the judge could also let him off with probation, which some experts say is typical for this kind of crime.

Now, ahead of that hearing, Trump will sit for an interview with a probation officer who will put together what is called a

pre-sentence report to get a sense of Trump's character and his behavior.
