He’ll keep delaying, but a dungeon is awaiting that shambling mound of fascist pustules.

Hopefully his three months will be October-January so he’ll miss the election and swearing in of Joe Biden.

I doubt the higher courts will be willing to hear this.

There was always this idea that the presidency of Donald J. Trump would reveal just how strong and reliable our institutions really were.
The wheels of justice have been moving really slowly (in part because these guys keep finding ways to obfuscate and delay), but one by one the assholes are getting their comeuppance.
The whole idea of Project 2025 is to render useless those institutions and rules. Even ignoring the White House, we need DEM majorities in congress to keep us safe, and hopefully shore-up the rule of law further.

From the NBC article on it:
Bannon still has the option of asking the full bench of the D.C. Circuit to hear his case, or he can petition the U.S. Supreme Court for review.
An order issued by the D.C. Circuit said the judges’ mandate will not officially take effect until seven days after further appeal attempts are resolved. That means Bannon is unlikely to have to report to prison immediately.

That’s an even better nickname for him than my ‘semi-sentient pile of filthy, rumpled laundry.’
