Enumerate for all America to see all the baloney ways Trump has used to subvert the democratic process.

If the system is functioning properly, all a higher court would do would be to reverse the dismissal and therefore order the lower court to actually consider the case.

Which doesn't help donnie in any way.


However, if they think the higher court is corrupt, they could be hoping for a very unusual break with standard practice in their favor....

All this is is a way to continue fleecing their dumbass supporters. Would think they'd eventually realize how much they're being played.

I'm glad we lost the game 99-58. The score shows the other
team cheated, the refs were bias, the scoreboard didn't work when
we scored either, the public know we are the real winners of the game,
and they're the losers, they lost, I won, now they should hand over
the trophy to us.

I'm glad you knocked me out in the first 15 seconds of the first round.

It gives me more credibility to challenge you to a second...third...fourth...etc,etc...fight.

Doesn't an appeal have to be bases on some error in the lower court proceeding? Not just that you didn't agree with the lower court finding.
