New York appeals court rejects Donald Trump’s third request to delay Monday's hush money trial
I like how they're responding to the flood of shit basically instantly. No more leeway, no more delays. He has to fucking go to trial.
At what point do they decide he’s being frivolous and tell him to shut the fuck up?
I almost don't want them to. I like the daily headlines about him losing appeals.
One of the things that they are filling frivolous motions about are a procedural order to limit a flood of last-minute frivolous filings to try to delay the case.
They can't really tell him to STFU because that would give him actual grounds for appeal, but they can enforce established deadlines to file stuff. Like the deadline to consider immunity that past a long time ago, which lets them immediately reject the claim now.
And then he doesn’t have to pay because he’s suddenly poor or something.
The rapist doesn’t take no for an answer. Who could have guessed?
Womp womp
Why does he get so many attempts? Trump has really been exposing a problem with appeals law. There doesnt seem to be any standardization for cutoff.
The courts are generally willing to work anyone filing the correct paperwork in the correct timeframes. And each of those timeframes have subsequent timeframes for response. It's is all about giving defendants enough time to mount the best defense they can. You can only try someone once (barring mistrials which they try to avoid as much as possible) so it needs to be done correctly the first time.
Trump is a master of abusing these deadlines one at a time to cause as many delays as possible. Most defendants and lawyers would be filing multiple things simultaneously as much as possible to reduce lawyer fees. Trump's goal isn't to reduce cost though, it's just to waste time. I'm not sure Trump has ever actually won a civil lawsuit historically, he just wastes time until people settle or drop it because they cannot afford to continue. He;'s trying to do the same here in the criminal trials and forcing them further towards election season so he can add to the perception the trials are about his campaign, and not the criminal activity itself.
In a word, money. If you can afford it, there's almost always another angle to try again. But most defendants aren't bankrolled by the RNC and Russian oligarchs, and the only thing limiting him is how quickly they can draw up new motions.
There isn’t a set number of times a person can try this. It’s not the same as appealing a verdict. You can ask for a delay right up until trial starts if you present different reasons.
Judges can also get tired of your shit and start imposing limits on your ability to file motions, and can also rule on them without awaiting a response.
Oh damn, I didn't realize that was starting Monday. I'll have to swing by Costco to pickup some popcorn this weekend!
Let's goooooo!
Why not after every failed attempt the trial gets pushed up 3 days?
Third request so far 🤡
