That appeals are effective if parties to the case have disagreements. Sort of like Trumpies ignore the clear evidence that the appeals process in Trump’s civil case seems poised to knock down the size of his exorbitant civil penalty.

That’s how the system works. Trumpistan is further along in its democratic institution demolition project, but the left shows its anti-democratic bonafides at times too.

Just like given what we now know about Trumpism, none of us should tolerate folks like Stacey Abrams denying election results. She can take her complaints to court, and if she gets no satisfaction, shut up. We need to double down on our democratic institutions if we want to keep them, not join in destroying their credibility.
