The point is simply to inconvenience her as much as possible. Even when he knows the arguments won't hold up in court, it still means she has to expend more time/effort/money to follow up. And he has unlimited funds to inconvenience her.

This doesn't inconvenience her at all though. The case is done and settled. This is just him requesting appeal from the Supreme Court and them saying no again. She doesn't have to do anything about it. There's no effort on her part.

I'm not perfectly familiar with the process. SCOTUS is an appeals court; does her side not have to go argue? Or is it just the appellant asking the court and the court reviewing previous case documentation and the law? (Yeah, lol, "law", but I mean ideally.)

[-] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago

Her side doesn't have to do anything unless SCOTUS grants the appeal. Which they have repeatedly said they will not. If they granted the appeal and agreed to hear it, yes her side would have to go argue.

At this point it is just wasting the Justices' and their clerks' time to do the paperwork saying they won't hear the appeal.

Oh no the orange tumor fears having to pay for his crimes and by pay I mean money not really pay.
