The #Fosstodon controversy is an excellent example of why the #decentralization of #Mastodon and the #Fediverse is not a panacea and not a substitute for #Justice.
As I have said on numerous occasions, what the world needs is broad agreement on comprehensive professional #moral, #ethical, #legal, and #procedural #standards for the operation of public private spaces that includes a firm commitment to #Equality and mechanisms for community and legal #accountability and an #appellate #process.

I'm having a super fun weekend working on my #Superfund #appellate brief! 🛢️🎉 It's due Tuesday.
This brief requires a mix of something I love (human rights policy) and something I despise (an overwhelming & unnecessary amount of seemingly arbitrary procedural rules), but I'm making good progress . 📚🖋️☕

#trump #appellate #manhattan #hushmoney #newyork
“ A New York appeals court judge has rejected former President Donald Trump’s request to delay his April 15 hush money criminal trial while he fights to move the case out of Manhattan.
The decision came Monday, a week before jury selection was set to start.
Trump’s lawyers had argued at an emergency hearing that the trial should be postponed while they seek a change of venue to move it out of heavily Democratic Manhattan.”
NO bond for you! 👀
A #newyork #appellate court denied Donald #Trump's attempt to freeze the #judgment in his #civil fraud case, a ruling that means, for now, that he is required to post a #bond for #hundredsofmillions of dollars in the coming #weeks.
Judge Anil Singh declined to address the amount of the bond, effectively requiring Trump by default to post a bond for the full #judgment of $454 million.

#NYAG #Amer questions #JeffMcConney more about how he #valued specific #Trump #properties & what info he may have excluded from his accountants’ assessment.
Note: Trump’s principal lawyer #ChrisKise is absent today.
Trump's legal team this morning filed a stay request to the state #Appellate Division (#AD1), to halt the #trial & #dismiss #Engoron’s #SummaryJudgment. #Kise, who was Florida’s solicitor general, (the top FL appellate lawyer). So presumably he’s dealing w/ they stay.
Back to my #Trump #Fraud #Trial #Day4 🧵
The trial gaveled back in session after a lunch.
Trump’s lawyers argued w/ lawyers from the AG's office about the motion Trump's team plans to file for a #stay pending their #appeal. Trump's team said they have not filed yet, but plan to file in front of the First Dept of the #Appellate Div tomorrow. They refused to disclose the scope of the requested stay before Judge #Engoron, insisting that the motion will be presented to the AD1, not the trial #court.
#Trump & his #legal team have said repeatedly that they “won 80% of the trial,” because an appellate court *intended* to dismiss claims based on statutes of limitations. #Engoron has not dismissed any portion of the AG’s case, but the defense is suing him over what they say is an improper refusal to follow the #appellate court order. Engoron acknowledged the blanket #objection, & #Bender proceeded to #testify.
Oh FFS; Before the first #witness #DonaldBender, could even begin testifying, one of Donald #Trump’s attorneys issued a preemptive #objection. Chris #Kise told Justice Arthur #Engoron that he objected to various parts of the #accountant’s #testimony & wanted to issue a “blanket objection” based on an #appellate ruling in June.
“As you know we won an appellate victory in June of this year,” #Kise said. “We make a blanket #objection to #testimony in that regard.”
"...now, we have never considered a dispute over a congressional #subpoena for the President's records. And, according to the parties, the #appellate #courts have addressed such a subpoena only once, when a #SenateCommittee subpoenaed President #Nixon during the #Watergate scandal. See infra , at 2032 – 2033..."
Now of course #ScareCrow aka #HarlanCrow should have better paid the #lawfirm to produce something of an #AmicusBrief on behalf of still-#JusticeThomas, but...
Delaware's high court now has two open seats, and a Senate hearing later today could mark the first time more than one vacated seat is filled at once. https://www.law.com/delawarelawweekly/2023/05/02/delaware-high-courts-transition-likely-to-go-smoothly-ex-chief-justice-predicts/ #delaware #supremecourt #appellate #law #lawfedi @law
