So Michael Popoc Legal AF, earlier this morning I reported on the fact that Donald Trump tried to do an expedited appeal to get to the highest court in New York to try to get that gag order off of him so that he can go back to bashing mercilessly the principal law clerk that works with the judge in the civil fraud case over him.

Because he can't sleep at night if he doesn't get up to bash this poor woman and make sure that his followers for good measure try to assassinate her that's his goal and he doesn't want to be stopped he has to have unfettered ability under the First Amendment to speak

to his social media followers and to run for office. And that includes bashing mercilessly

and doxing this poor principal law clerk. Well the appellate division

said no I don't think so gag order seems appropriate gag order back in place and

that drove Donald Trump and his lawyers up the wall and if they could only

learn basic appellate procedure maybe things would have gone differently for them in the last hour but it didn't because they

filed a paper a series of papers with the appellate

division first department and the four judges that sat over the case on Thursday and ask them to expedite on full briefing and appeal to the

court of appeals which is the highest court in New York. You got to you got to go first

through the appellate panel and get permission to take

this kind of interlocutory appeal, this kind of appeal in the middle. Normally appeals

happen at the end of cases. We're watching a lot of

appeals on legal AF involving Donald Trump during cases. That's called

interlocutory appeal. Generally that's discretionary. The appellate court doesn't have to take that kind of appeal. Generally, that's discretionary. The appellate court doesn't have to take that kind of appeal, except under certain circumstances.

Certainly in the state court in New York, you don't get up to the Court of Appeals anytime you feel like it. You drop hat you don't just to go go to the

court of appeals you got to go back first to the people that just ruled against

you on Thursday and ask the chief judge of the four judge panel the four justice panel, to allow you to do expedited briefing

up to the Court of Appeals.

And the judge there, the chief judge there,

Chief Judge Daniels, she said,

we're not doing it your way.
