    And each of those timeframes have subsequent timeframes for response

    This theoretically gives someone immunity from legal consequences. And in trumps case the theory is put into practice. Because theres no cap on the number of subsequent timeframes. Every appeal decision can be appealed.

      There’s a cap. You can’t appeal past the Supreme Court. And sometimes courts don’t even take up your case. This Supreme Court has been surprisingly unwilling to do things for him.

      If they don’t take up the case, the appeal ends.

        Trump didn’t pick his nominees, some group like the Heritage Club or whatever they are called had him nominate them. The nominees are not MAGA idiots, they are conservative authoritarians who wanted to overturn Roe v Wade and take away people’s rights. Now that they are on the court Trump can go fuck himself.

        As far as ive seen, he can appeal laterally indefinitely, taken up by other appeals courts, or somehow through the same appeal court.

        And sometimes courts don’t even take up your case.

        This seems to be where the lack of standardization comes from. Its up to court discretion. Which is how someone like trump can get dozens of appeals while most only get 1.
