    Nothing for them to do here, this is not a federal case, it’s a New York State case. He can only appeal within the state judicial system.

      A respectful court would agree. Let’s remember one judge hung two different flags supporting insurrection. Another judge has a wife that tried to personally have people over turn the 2020 election results. Bonus judge: Cannon blocking a case for classified documents being stolen.

      I have high hopes the courts will do nothing./s

        Respect has nothing to do with it. The federal supreme court has no jurisdiction over New York State criminal cases.

          I am not a lawyer, but this site states:

          “A litigant who loses in a federal court of appeals, or in the highest court of a state, may file a petition for a “writ of certiorari,” which is a document asking the Supreme Court to review the case. The Supreme Court, however, does not have to grant review. The Court typically will agree to hear a case only when it involves an unusually important legal principle, or when two or more federal appellate courts have interpreted a law differently. There are also a small number of special circumstances in which the Supreme Court is required by law to hear an appeal.”
