Trump Family Loses Big Appeals Court Fight to Force Fraud and Deceptive Practices Lawsuit into Secret Arbitration

Colin Kalmbacher 4 hrs ago

Former president Donald Trump, his prized family business, the Trump Organization, and three of his adult children, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump, all suffered a significant legal setback in a federal appeals court opinion issued Wednesday morning.

In a 43-page opinion, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit denied the Trump family’s request to settle the numerous complaints against them behind the veil, and with the help, of arbitrators.

“The truth or falsity of the plaintiffs’ allegations is not before us,” Circuit Judge Robert D. Sack wrote. “We neither express nor imply any views with respect to them. The only question before us is whether this case should be resolved before the district court or an arbitrator.”

An attorney for the plaintiffs praised the court’s decision via Twitter.

1. IANAL. Can they appeal this ruling?

I'm assuming they will, even if they can't (given their experience with their lawyers filing so many frivolous lawsuits regarding "election fraud&quot .

So, a serious question. Thanks, in advance, to you DU lawyer-types out there!

3. The opinion is by a three judge panel of the Second Circuit.

They could ask for an en banc review, but that’s not a matter of right. They could also seek cert to the Supreme Court. There is no right of appeal to USSC. With few exceptions, not applicable here, they only hear cases where they grant certiorari. That takes 4 favorable votes from the 9 justices. They only choose to hear a tiny percentage of the cases presented to them.

4. Me too

The Delta Variant would be great. Stick right on his sweaty Orange mug during one of his Virus jubilee party’s. His cult will share, to own the libs.

9. That would be a well-deserved fate

but I think he goes to great lengths to protect himself. He knows how deadly COVID is, while he lies to the MAGAts on a daily basis. He doesn’t give a shit about anyone but himself.

Too bad for the kids but they did it to themselves, just like everybody else. That's what gets them the most, being treated like everybody else.
