I think she is the justice in charge of taking appeals from the NY area which means she will decide if Rump's case makes it to the Supreme Court.

And, I'd ask that none of us get ahead of ourselves. If SCOTUS followed 249 years of principles and precedence, they would refuse without comment or at least deny immediately. But, this is a corrupted version of a SCOTUS--no better than that which decided Dred Scott v Sanford.. or Plessy v Ferguson...Bush v Gore...Citizens United v FEC...Trump v United States (immunity)...

We shall see... but don't take it for granted that the law actually matters to the six MAGATs on that court.

Here is the latest update

Prosecutors on Thursday urged the Supreme Court to allow Donald Trump’s sentencing in his New York hush money case to go ahead as scheduled on Friday morning. Emphasizing that Trump’s conviction rests on conduct for which he is not entitled to immunity, that Trump can attend Friday’s hearing “by video at the trial court’s invitation to minimize any burden,” and that Trump can appeal after he is sentenced, prosecutors wrote in a 38-page filing that there is no reason for the justices to take “the extraordinary step of intervening” now.

The filing came one day after Trump asked the justices to block the sentencing. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who handles emergency appeals from New York, instructed the state to respond to Trump’s request by 10 a.m. on Thursday, signaling that the court is likely to act quickly.
