EDIT So I'm hearing it's the BOND COMPANY that needs to put this up, not Trump. So it's the financial statment of the insurance company that put up the bond.
Judicial system: Present your bond money to appeal....
Trump: here's the money you required for bond.
Judicial system: umm... Damn.... Here wait just a minute, you can't just present your bond money to meet the bond money requirement of this appeal. We now need all these extra things done before we accept your money and call it a good bond toward your appeal process beginning. So we mailed you your money back and you should get it in 20 days or so. Please cure the appeals bond documentation issues and present thepayment for your bond again in the next 5 days.
Oh you don't readily have the liquid cash for the bond until you get your money back in post? Not our problem.
Nailed it!
Regardless, political persecution it is.
Requiring bond for an appeal means most of us would be toast.
You can appeal without putting up a bond, Trump has already started his appeal.
BUT without a bond you can't STAY or pause the execution of the judgement...that is the collection of the money.
The bond protects both the plaintiff and the defendant. Let's say I smashed by boat into your lake house. And you sue me and win a $200,000 judgment. You want to be sure I have the money and I not just appealing to delay you getting the money. I want a way to easily get my money back if I win my appeal. The court wants to be sure my appeal isn't frivolous and I'm not just wasting everyone's time.
And these people run our government!😳
That sounds inappropriate. Trump put up cash.
Trump put up collateral for bond. The BONDING company put up the bond.
The collateral could be cash, but the bond is actually coming from an insurance company.
Exactly. Maybe the financial position they want is from the bond company.
Just change it to $175 and call it good
