Next stop Supreme Court? Trump loses $83 million appeal in Carroll case

[EvilEyeFleegle]

So..Trump loses again..in this case. Since we know he'll appeal to his tame judges...what will they do?
Exonerate him...or simply refuse to hear the case...just as the Court of Appeals did...essentially confirming the ruling?

A divided federal appeals court in Manhattan says it will not grant a rare meeting of all of its judges to hear an appeal of an $83 million verdict against President Donald Trump for defaming a magazine columnist.

A divided federal appeals court said Wednesday it will not grant a rare meeting of its active judges to hear an appeal of an $83 million verdict against President Donald Trump for defaming a magazine advice columnist over an encounter three decades ago.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision to reject a so-called “en banc” hearing comes several months after Trump appealed to the Supreme Court another jury’s decision to grant $5 million the writer, E. Jean Carroll, after concluding that he had sexually abused her in a department store dressing room in 1996 and later defamed her. The high court has not yet decided whether to hear the case.

Lawyers for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Carroll’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, said in a statement that her client was “eager for this case, originally filed in 2019, to be over so that she can finally obtain justice.”

After a three-judge 2nd Circuit panel rejected Trump’s appeal of the $83 million verdict in September, an appeals judge asked the other Manhattan appeals jurists to hear the case.

The 2nd Circuit said Wednesday that five judges voted against a rehearing before all the judges while three judges voted in favor of the en banc.

I guess to make up the difference, the rapist will have to sue someone for eleventy billion dollars for making a joke about his cankles.

The Supreme Court rarely accepts cases involving such vulgar things a money flowing between private citizens.

But rest assured, this lying [vulgar word for vagina] will never see a dime of Trump's money.

Or sue the IRS for 50 billion dollars.

You are expressing your hope that Trump ends up being denied an appellate reversal of the civil verdict and the judgment.

But, what you ignorantly and dishonestly denigrate as “tame” justices have shown a bad habit of ruling against his positions plenty enough.

The civil case against him was always a partisan political witch hunt and a miscarriage of justice. It ought to be reversed and dismissed for a number of perfectly valid legal reasons.

But it’s far from clear that this SCOTUS has the firmness of purpose to actually do its job over this matter. Sad.

That is what all the inmates at the local prison say.

Well yeah...Trump won't pay on his own.
But liens can be taken on his properties..and not for the first time, I might add.
Bank accounts can be frozen.
The amount, to Trump, isn't that large..but he..or his estate--will pay in the end...if the SCOTUS does not save him.

Well yeah..I think he's guilty as sin--so I do hope that the court fails to act..and in that it...affirms both the verdicts..and the penalties in both cases...the defamation and the sexual assault.

Yeah, I'll give ya that one..Tame was overstating their predilections--they do have a distressing-to the Right-tendency to go their own way on issues.

I expect Birthright Citizenship will be one of those issues.
Perhaps this will be one also~

It won’t matter – Trump will always be known as an adjudicated rapist and sex offender.

Trump is a rapist, draft dodger, and a moron, why do some defend him so ardently? History is full of evil leaders, America today follows that history. Unreal.

Commentators have said that the US president’s clownishness and lack of ideology somehow make him less dangerous. They’re wrong, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

Which will happen. The lawyer will file a lien after a specified time frame allows.
