Trump was never going to win Illinois anyway.

This is for the tax case; Carroll’s judgment for the most recent one was $83.3M. They’re both civil cases, though this one is NY State, and Carroll’s is federal.

In either case, if the bond amount is not posted, there is no appeal, and assets can be seized to fulfill the legal consequences.

The legal term for Engoron’s ruling (New York state civil fraud judgment) is “undertaking.” In the Carroll case (Kaplan, federal defamation), it’s “damages,” a large portion of which are punitive damages.

The E. Jean Carroll defamation case was in federal court.

The meat:

“Having argued to the jury that President Trump has great financial resources, Plaintiff is in no position to contradict herself now and contend that she requires the protection of a bond during the brief period while post-trial motions are pending,” he huffs. “This fact nullifies risk to the judgment creditor and weighs heavily in favor of an unsecured stay.”

Only problem with that is that it’s not Plaintiff who is requiring a bond pending appeal. It is the United States of America.

I am definitely curious as to how this impacts his Georgia plea agreement.

Edit: He is in violation of his Georgia plea agreement.

He slipped real hard during his presidential bid. Remember how his VP pick was Sarah Palin, for example.

Because for a criminal proceeding, the accused must appear. Can’t be in two places at once.

The actual government has been railing against the service for being a national security threat. Donald Trump was railing against CHYNA for a moment, before he got a hankering for some of that Xi.

The Republican Convention this year is going to make 1968 Chicago look like a quinceañera.

Edit: Oh god, it’s in Milwaukee. That’s like seceding from the Union and then putting your new capitol city 100 miles from Washington DC.

Or his daughter Isuzu.

Yes, Christianity is an apocalyptic death cult.

Your Supreme Court says they’re children, and you’re pre-emptively saying you’re not going to prosecute crimes against children? For shame.

God has to blow the breath of life right up a woman’s vagina …

Good work if you can get it.

Should definitely report every public works department in the state.

Oh, sure - to be perfectly clear, nothing I said was intended to address that concern, and your position is absolutely sound. I was only referring to the tangent of “I rarely get an answer, but I do get told I support genocide,” outside of all that.

The state of Missouri appealed the decision, arguing that the jury selection process had been discriminatory on religious grounds. An appeals court sided with Finney, ruling the jurors had been eliminated due to their beliefs about homosexuality, not because they were Christians. Missouri appealed that decision to the Supreme Court, which declined Tuesday to hear the case.

Constitutional rights, as Alito must surely know, come into conflict all the time, and it is the courts’ responsibility to balance one right against another.

Yes, you have a right to your religion and its beliefs, but that right must yield when it infringes on other people’s rights. None of this amounts to the courts “labeling someone as a bigot and treating them as such.” I can label those people as bigots and treat them as such, because I am not a judge, and “bigot” is not a protected class.
