They can argue it. Try. |
It was fraud for the Baltimore DA and it was fraud, monumental fraud, committed by Trump for which a monumental fine is monumentally appropriate. I am looking forward to Ms. James seizing Trump Tower and 40 Wall and I hope both go for pennies on the dollar. |
Has there been anybody in this jurisdiction that was fined that amount of money? |
Somebody in the New York legislature passed a bill with Trump in mind, said for one year the statute of limitations on long ago sexual assault will be waived. Then suddenly E Jean refiles. It seems like they got the target first and then they manipulated or redefined the laws to make sure that he could be prosecuted. |
Let’s see what SCOTUS thinks about it. |
Kind of underscores the fact that he’s overvalued his properties for years, doesn’t it?
What a freaking joke this guy is. |
When in doubt always go for conspiratorial thinking first, I see. |
Why would sCrOTUS have a say? |
A new law in New York is behind the civil lawsuit brought by E. Jean Carroll against Donald Trump, and survivors hope the spotlight put on it by this week’s verdict against the former president means more people might use it. The law opened a one-time window for adult sexual assault survivors in New York to file a civil case against an abuser or institution that protected the abuser — no matter when the assault took place, even if it’s outside the statute of limitations. But that window expires in six months. The law has a one-year window through late November. Within hours of the law going into effect in late November, Carroll filed a battery and defamation civil suit against Trump. The Adult Survivors Act Has Expired In New York State https://www.forbes.com/sites/douglaswigdor/2023/12/05/the-adult-survivors-act-has-expired-in-new-york-state/?sh=48cb75f14ce5 With the expiration of the law, individuals can no longer file new lawsuits under the provisions of the Adult Survivors Act. How is this a conspiracy if it’s true? Why has NY let it expire? Why not just keep it in place? |
Do you know who could pay this?
Taylor Swift. |
I see reddit is leaking. |
Nope. See Browning-Ferris v Kelco. 8th amendment doesn’t apply to damages in civil cases. |
Y'all keep saying there were no damages, but that just isn't true. The integrity of the banking system and how are society operates are predicated on a modicum of reality. When people like Madoff and Trump lie and cheat the system, we all end up paying for it. |
Because violation of the 8th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution would be the argument. You're pretty clueless at this, aren't you? Eighth Amendment "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted." |
