Us proles need to wait years, decades even, for the court process to work itself out.

Dear Leader, however, gets to just apply for a rubber stamp gold star from Roberts and he gets off for everything and anything under a new absurd legal doctrine that turns the entire notion of our country and Constitution on its head.

Pretty funny, really.

The Judge is trying to let him off with a little slap on his tiny wrist, not even making him show up... but King Trump is above the Law, and embarrassing him even a little is verboten.

Sotomayor picks up the appeal.

Trump will be a coward all the way to the end.

It's not that he can't cough up the money. He's just afraid the Democrats will make a big show about his conviction and the billions he had to pay for losing his case.

Mainly, Trump hates being called a loser.

Sotomayor picks up the appeal.

So she had to determine if Lewzer's arguments for the appeal are different from his losing arguments during the trial and subsequent jury conviction?

Or does she determine if he is immune to the whole thing, guilty as charged or not?

He doesn't have to do this,

all he has to do is declare it all null and void.......he can ask the court but if they say no

then all he has to do is disband the supreme court.

UNLESS you jerk offs were lying about him being a fascist worse than hitler..
