If I have to tell you how the law works then I'm disappointed dude.
You said he played by different rules... then didn't detail what rules... you then deflected to "the law" ... and then didn't detail which law? Did the court violate state or federal law by their court order related to the appeal?
My bad. I thought you read the posts.
I did hence why I asked you questions on said posts. For example, did the appeals court violate state or federal law by their court order?

seems you're being a little pedantic here...
i doubt the judge violated the law when he gave trump extra time to hand in his homework and lowered the bar for a passing grade. i'm sure the law allows for the court to make decisions like these. the whole argument of a tiered justice system is not that there's literally a second set of laws on the books that you can look up. it's the application of laws.
you know if it was some clown that got hit with a $50K judgement and wasn't able to secure a bond in time that 98% of the time the judge's response would be "sorry about that, but the law is the law, lets empty those bank accounts and sell your property to cover the appeal bond, oh, and you also owe an extra $8K in interest!"
Sometimes getting your usual forumites to exercise any form of critical analysis is like expecting my toddler son not to throw food on the ground. I still try to get him to understand and hope for the best but I still know he's going to do it.
98% seems rather arbitrary, but I'm sure an analyst can dive into and review civil judgements which make it to the appeals court for the state. I couldn't even begin to give an estimate on the succuss rates relative to the "financial worth" of the defendant though. Of course, one of the benefits of seeing through appeals is viability of resources and time, a definite strain on the less fortunate without pro-bono assistance.
I did a quick Google search and found this review blog that's nearly a decade old. I didn't vet the author though, but did highlight an interesting bit for our discussion relative to the Appellate Division which dealt with Trump." Dispositions of civil cases over the period of 2011 to 2013 have been between 50 and 51 percent for affirmances, 15 and 16 percent for reversals, and 11 and 13 percent for modifications." Link. I believe this appeal will be akin to a modification for now. Almost 1/3 of all cases are reversed or modified though, that's a decent chunk if those stats are accurate.
