Laura explained on the townhall that this NY issue would require legal gymnastics to find a constitutional issue based the 8th Amendment to the Constitution:

“...against imposing excessive bail, excessive fines, or cruel and unusual punishments.”

If there ever was a case that deserved federal intervention, this is it.

I think a good start for an appeal is that Engeron denied President Trump a trial. He agreed with Letitia James' motion for summary judgement of guilty and moved straight to the penalty phase.

President Trump was not allowed to put on a defense of the facts, he was only allowed to present witnesses to mitigate the extent of the fines (which the judge clearly rejected).

His appeal should be one of due process and equal protection under the law. The judge decided that Trump was guilty without even conducting the trial.

ROFL...the Constitution?

Ha ha. How quaint!

I can’t possibly portray my hatred for these human scumbags in strong enough terms.

I’d get banned for life.
