Former President Donald Trump must pay nearly half a billion dollars as a bond to New York State before he can appeal the ruling by Judge Arthur Engoron last week that he must pay $354 million in fines — over $450 million, with interest — for fraud.
Critics have noted that Trump is the only person ever to be sued under an obscure New York fraud statute that does not require any harm be done, and that effectively criminalizes the everyday practice of real estate valuations in negotiations with banks.
Though Attorney General Letitia James — who ran for office promising to target Trump — claimed that no one is above the law, her case against Trump marks the only such case in the history of the state. And the staggering fine is likewise unprecedented.

He can bond it I think
I think he’s got at least 12-15 left
His genes are proven winners that way
Doesn’t always happen though
ping for reference
That is my observation as well. It is all a game, tragically.
I think the recourse for unconstitutional or corrupt actions by judges is impeachment.
Or maybe everyone will just play along to get along. If one is part of the club, known as the Democrat machine, lots of things can be overlooked.
You certainly can sue a Judge for Ultra Vires acts (acts outside of their authority)...immunity is only for when they are actually doing their job as a judge...letting political views interfere with a Trial or taking bribes is not an official duty of a judge
Lol. I'd not heard that particular quote, but, if it is accurate, it may explain how the judge came up with such an arbitrarily outrageous figure for a fine.
Unconstitutional acts by a Judge are subject to 42USC1983 suits from the victim, as well as impeachment by the state/federal legislature. A judge’s official job duties do not include performing unconstitutional acts, therefore immunity does not attach.

"...I think we ought to burn it"
Yep, about punishment ... the heart and soul of a fascist regime. They've got the sticks to flog and the axe to chop, and take delight in using them.
One files a Notice of Motion or an Order to Show Cause with SCOTUS.
“There MUST BE a recourse for this.”
Win an appeal. That’s your recourse.
Thank you. C
..........SOMETIMES justice gets served but usually by some sequence of accidents or miscues by the lawyers.
If there is a “Go Fund Me” set up, I will gladly contribute.
What were the funds held in escrow if not a bond?
True. He's trolling for his pals Hochul and Letitia James on other threads, pretending this is about "the law", when everyone who isn't a rabid partisan Democrat knows it's not about "the law", it's about using the law to "get Trump".
There is no legal system, not any longer.
Literally, the law is in their mouths.
When will RINOs realize or acknowledge that RINOs themselves BROUGHT THIS ON.
If every (R) had stuck together from DAY ONE, we wouldn’t be here.
