    I hate to be that guy, but you can’t appeal on ineffective assistance of counsel in a civil proceeding.

        I don’t know, I just feel like correcting people on the internet often comes off as being pedantic even if that isn’t the intention. That is why I included the disclaimer I suppose. Thanks for the kind words though, I appreciate it.

        Whoa, whoa…I was told this was a Reddit replacement and this is way too kind, humble, accepting, and level headed.

        This is downright peaceful.

      Since when has something being legal or not ever stopped Trump from trying it?

        I’m not sure what you mean exactly in this context? Are you saying he will try to appeal on those grounds anyway? If that is what you are saying then it doesn’t work like that because the appeals court will simply throw out the appeal for lack of standing I believe.

          That’s exactly what I’m expecting would happen. Trump submits paperwork trying to appeal, it gets rejected for not being valid grounds to appeal, and he cries persecution in the media.

            Oh, well in that case then I guess I agree with you. Both because that is his M.O. and also because his legal team in this specific case is especially incompetent.
