Will the 8th Amendment reduce Trump's $500,000,000 in "fines"? (Poll)

[BackAgain]

SCOTUS doesn't have a say in State court judgements. The last stop for an appeal of the New York verdict is the New York Supreme Court.

The lowest level felony trial court in NY is the Supreme Court. It’s also the Supreme Court which handles civil cases of a larger value.

Next up, appeals court. The Appellate Divisions of the Supreme Court are the first appellate level.

The comes NY’s highest court which is the Court of Appeals.

And the SCOTUS does get a say in state high court decisions in many cases. For instance, The SCOTUS reversed Florida’s Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore. Also, the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to bar Trump is also under SCOTUS scrutiny.

So, once again, Jerk Chicken, you’re completely wrong.

None of Trump's rights were violated.

So sayeth Retarded Horses. But, as we’ve all seen, Retarded Horses tends to be wrong, almost all the time.

Issues that had to do with Federal elections.

Like a Presidential Election?

Exactly. This was a New York Civil fraud trial. It has nothing to do with federal elections.

 

[BackAgain]

Meh. In any event, the SCOTUS GENERALLY does defer to the highest court of any given state in matters of purely state law. As it should.

But, if a decision is made (purportedly as a matter of “state law”) by any given state’s highest court, and that decision is at odds with Federal law or with the U.S. Constitutional rights of the litigants, you can rest assured the SCOTUS reserves a right to address that federal law or Constitutional issue.

You should read my immediately preceding post.

You need to be educated.

I'm good. There is no constitutional question here. People get found liable in civil fraud trials all the time.

Yep. That’s an answer.

It’s a retarded answer. But it is an answer.

So. You admit you’re of no value.

Don't do the crimes if you can't pay the fines.

I forgot how funky that music was!

 

[candycorn]

Especially given that there were no damages.

A drunk driver who doesn’t wreck their car into someone/something and cause damage is still breaking the law; true?

 

[Redfish]

the judgement will be completely overturned on appeal, he will owe zero

not without any victims and especially when the purported victims testified that they were not harmed in any way.

Again, that's like arguing that it was okay that you were going 100MPH through a school zone, but it's okay because you didn't hit any kids and their parents didn't complain.

My comment has nothing to do with what policy you support and instead everything to do with you crying like a bitch that everyone is being unfair to Trump. He lost in court. Plug your pussy up.

We are not witnessing justice...What we are witnessing is the misuse of law...

You dipshits continue to believe whatever MAGAt media tells you nevermind how wrong they continue to be.

Again, if Trump were an honest businessman, you MIGHT have a point.

But

The Trump Foundation- where they took money intended for Veterans and spent it on themselves.
Trump University- where people paid thousands for useless classes.
Six bankruptcies where someone else was left holding the bag.

Trump has a long list of corruption he's gotten away with, he's just not getting away with it anymore.
