The issues associated with immunity from criminal prosecution are more general and thus don't have an "urgency." Only in the Bizarr-o world occupied by the Supreme Court.

It's not Bizzaro. It's not uncommon for criminal cases to take more than a year to go from indictment to trial, especially when there are novel questions of law and the defendant is well-lawyered. That's pretty standard stuff. They had to expedite the 14th Amendment cases super-fast because there were a bunch of state courts/state agencies that were facing the choice whether to have him on the ballot or not. Since there's no comparable urgency on the criminal case, they only expedited it really fast, not super fast (under regular order, this case would have been heard next term, with oral arguments sometime in October and a decision in 2025).
