A New York state appeals court voided a more than $500 million civil fraud penalty imposed on President Donald Trump. The appeals court said “injunctive relief” ordered by the trial judge in the case was “well crafted to curb defendants’ business culture” at the Trump Organization. But the order that “directs that defendants pay nearly half a billion dollars to the State of New York, is an excessive fine that violates the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution,” the appeals court said.

Winning
Finally—that leftist plot has unraveled.
Winning big !!!
Take that Tish!!!
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sadly not on the merits, but rather that the penalty was excessive.
“Injunctive relief!”
Sounds like a selling point for Tums.
WONDERFUL!
LOL, Let’s see if Tish can put together another circus now that Trump is back in power -highly doubtful.
Trump won, as he should have. Tish lost, as she should have.
“””Take that Tish!!!”””””
I don’t think Tish is having a good week. The guy she tried to destroy became President. OOPS!!!!
Tish SHOULD have her TUSH in PRISON!
Leftists don't have a problem with that, as long as the violation of rights is directed at the "correct" people.
I would have rather the case be dropped out on the merits (Trump didn't lie about his real estate values) so that Letitia James can be hit with a hard legal hammer.
I’m glad this was finally put to bed. This was a ridiculous “penalty”, totally bogus.
Trump's was a civil violation, Tish is criminal violation.
“Sadly not on the merits, but rather that the penalty was excessive.”
Yes, the court said it was a well-crafted...
It was definitely NOT well-crafted, but this is a liberal court that did not want to spatter the nonsense too much.
Nah, make it excessive and let her go through the appeals process with all of her money being held up. I think it’s wrong but if they don’t have to go through the same form of “justice” they’ll never learn.
“””I would have rather the case be dropped out on the merits (Trump didn’t lie about his real estate values) so that Letitia James can be hit with a hard legal hammer. “””””
Trump can now appeal the rest of it. Tish is sad. She thought taking Trump out would get her a job as Attorney General for Biden or Harris. Swing and a miss.
She's certainly on a losing street.
Trump gets elected president. Tish gets investigated. Trump civil penalty gets thrown out.
Was it worth it, Tish?
