This is very routine. Supreme Court is highest level of appeal if other appeals fail. Does not mean that it will be taken up. Vast majority are not.

I wonder how many of the SCOTUS she already knows?

They must have been state charges? Legitimately I forget, but if not there's no way Trump wouldn't pardon her, particularly for some special favors...

Yeah, come on! Child predators and criminals are now fashionable again in the US, why would she have to suffer in jail?
