This is great and all, but when do we move from courts continually re-affirming that Trump raped E. Jean Carroll to the part where she actually gets her money?
This is the first appellate court to affirm the judgement in the first trial which found Trump liable for defamation. And this court didn't rule on the issue of whether Carroll's statement that she was "raped" was defamation.
He'll appeal this decision to SCOTUS and after their decision, she ...
Once a sexual predator always a sexual predator. How this country ever elected such a vile man twice? It’s so incomprehensible to me. I will struggle with this question till the end.
Exactly cause we’ve all met some of them and they always repeat. Men don’t go out or interact, socially being aware of the threats around them women do.
He's already posted the $5M bond for the judgment in order to appeal the first judgement.
She can collect once he's exhausted his appeal rights, which will occur after he appeals to SCOTUS and they either refuse to hear the case or affirm the judgement.
No, they're not "ridiculously endless" especially when you consider this was the first appeal on this judgement. And appeals are necessary to ensure the district court doesn't go rogue like Aileen Cannon did with the Trump cases she handled.
The appeals process for this judgement will almost certainly be over in 6 months as it's unlikely that SCOTUS will take up the case, as there aren't any novel issues involved.
Now, there is still the appeal on the 2nd Carroll defamation case, where the judgement was $81M, but considering that most of the appeal issues in that case were based on the judgment in the first case, the decision there is pretty much a foregone conclusion.
Under federal statute, state law claims can be brought in federal court when the parties reside in different states and the amount at issue is more than $75,000.
This case didn't involve violation of any "federal laws."
Carroll's claims were state/common law claims that can be brought in federal court b/c there is diversity jurisdiction (the parties reside in different states) and the amount at issue is > than $75k.
He slandered her again immediately after his trial over the exact same thing because he's an idiot so she sued him again and that time she was awarded, iirc, $83 million. With interest, today he owes her more than $100 million dollars. The 2nd case was just an appeal of the first that he just lost.
Not "appeal" that's not correct, more like a redo of the exact same thing. This was an appeal of the first case, so imo, losing this one is a pretty good indication he will lose his appeal on the 2nd as well. That's a bit less confusing. lol
Imagine that. There are no new material facts about the case to lead a judge to dismiss the lawsuit judgment, and look at that, the verdict and judgment are upheld. Just like rule of law is supposed to work.

The decision wasn't about whether there was "new materials facts." "New material facts" are looked at when a party wants to re-open a final judgement based on such new facts.
The judgement in this case isn't final yet as Trump has not exhausted his appeals.
Thank goodness there are some Judges who hold those accountable who break the law. Prosecutors keep telling us no one is above the law. No, there are certain races that are not people who look like me.

The verdict on the second trial with the much larger sum awaits appeal to the 2nd Circuit.

Now SCRAM.
The only one who is "lost" is you. I'm stating what the law provides.
FFS, the judgment in this case occurred in May 2023. The fact that we have an appellate decision in this timeframe is super fast.
A) I'm not apologizing for rape. Trump deserved the judgment and will have to pay, as the court stated.
B) Nor do I support white supremacy.
You're confusing someone who supports the right to appeal with someone claiming Trump shouldn't have lost.
When reporting this refuse, everyone, be sure to cite "troll behaviour," "reply guy," and "defends sexual assault perpetrator."
Please genius point to where I apologize for rape or assert that the judgment against Trump was wrong. Stop making bad assumptions.
Because I don't believe that it was wrong. But appeals are necessary parts of the process. Even Carroll's attorneys will tell you that.
To be fair, I read dictionaries for fun and sport.
It's with regard to Trump's state court cases (the NYAG decision and criminal conviction) where SCOTUS likely won't have any issues they can review.

Nor really would it be since defamation has always been an exception to the First Amendment.
The article you cite is with regard to the second Carroll judgement whereas this decision was on the first Carroll decision.
Trump also appeals the second judgement which this decision doesn't address (although it definitely impacts it).
The appellate issues aren't constitutional ones and are fairly routine. They also do not involve an issue where the circuit courts are in conflict.
He cannot pardon civil judgements in any way.
The judgement in this case isn't final yet as Trump has not exhausted his appeals.
This dealt with Trump's appeal that ...
The 2nd Circuit held that there were no such decisions.
