re: Trump has to deposit $455 million just to appeal the decision against him

Turley's article says he can post a 10% bond, or the court in its discretion can forgo security in the appeal. We know the latter will not happen based on the makeup of the NY judiciary.

The problem with climbing the appellate ladder in a deep blue state is that the politics are the same all the way to the very top. At least with the case pending in Atlanta, he will eventually get to some more conservative jurists from other parts of Georgia.
