Hankey Bond/4

So yes, obviously New York Appeals Court has to rule against Trump appeal - but they also will. So Hankey's whatever-idiot insurance (am still too angry to remember their name now) will be paying New York state that $175 million bond in late year 2025 after Trump Appeal rejected

@tomiahonen assuming that the NY Appeals court ruled against him, can #45 appeal to #SCOTUS ?

@DoctorDNS he can always appeal to SCOTUS, but at every level of appeal there is less and less grounds on which to make the actual appeal.

This is just a general way the system works.

Especially when moving from state to federal courts, the feds have a strong rule of deferring to the states because the states know best what their own laws are.

So to appeal the state ruling to the Supreme Court would require a very strong showing that something went terribly wrong in the state procedure. Otherwise the court would generally shrug and let the state have its way, even if it was a minor mistake.
