Supreme Court goes idle on Trump-related disputes and time is running out

Has the Supreme Court hit the pause button on all things President Trump?
The justices for more than three weeks have been holding on to the presidents last-ditch plea to shield his private financial records from Manhattans district attorney.
And all has been quiet on the election front.
Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. last Friday directed Pennsylvania election officials to segregate mail-in votes received in the three-day window after Election Day, and said he was referring the matter to the full court for further action.
No further action has come. Nor has the court acted on a separate request from the Trump campaign, pending for a week, to intervene in the case.
