Posting security if you request the suspension of a judgment pending appeal.
And if you cant post the bond, isnt that the very definition of 'excessive fine'? Its not like the founding fathers were idiots. They know govts would begin using this as a tactic at some point
Youll get there eventually

That is the judgment itself, and that's what's being appealed.

The founders would not have had a problem with this. Their interpretation of the 8th Amendment was that it only applied to the federal government and did not apply to state action.
I think the excessive fines portion of the 8A may not have been incorporated to the states until 2019.
