"Give Me The Rules, And I Will Beat You Everytime"

Well, he'll always have his delusions.

Like a rented mule:

An appellate court in New York has rejected Donald Trump's latest attempt to appeal Judge Engoron's gag order imposed on Trump, including the fines associated with Trump's failure to follow the gag order. Trump's attorneys sought a writ of prohibition that would have essentially vacated the gag order and the fines that came with it. The appellate court denied this request stating, on procedural grounds, that a writ of prohibition was not the proper avenue to appeal the gag order. As a result, with the trial in its concluding days, Trump's gag order will remain in place. 

UPDATE: Trump filed an Article 78 proceeding in the NY Appellate Division, which is a peculiar provision of NY law . But that’s not what he should have done:

"This is one where it's almost unbelievable, because you can't find a lot of precedent for something like this, because who in their right mind thinks, oh, you know what I want to do? I want to attack the staff of the court," added Weissmann. "It's just — it just isn't done. So usually the case law is about about, more about real speech. So the kind of thing that we have seen in the D.C. criminal case, where he also lost."

Trump’s lawyers are not legal counsel; they’re just employees doing what the Boss tells them to do. Which is even more humiliating than the dead ends Trump keeps marching them down.
