In short, Trump is taking the time to appeal a judgment against him and simultaneously complaining he doesn't have the time to appeal the judgment.
Obviously every losing litigant would like a different verdict or an overturned verdict. It's rather a weird legal argument to use "I'm too busy" as a reason for quashing the original court's verdict and penalty. No doubt many prison-bound convicted defendants feel they are "too busy" to be incarcerated.
If the SCOTUS is not completely corrupt they will realize that no matter how they decide, Trump will no longer be "too busy" appealing the case because it will be a done deal.
WASHINGTON – Making a case for why the Supreme Court should overturn a $5 million judgment that President Donald Trump sexually abused and defamed writer E. Jean Carroll, the president’s lawyers topped their legal arguments with a practical one.
He’s busy.
“It is deeply damaging to the fabric of our Republic for President Trump, in the midst of a historic presidency, to have to take his focus away from his singular and unique duties as Chief Executive to continue fighting against decades-old, false allegations and the myriad wrongs throughout this baseless case,” his lawyers wrote in their final filing before the high court decides as soon as this month whether to hear Trump’s appeal. "This mistreatment of a President cannot be allowed to stand."
