He knows hes screwed in every case hes facing. He intends to completely shit the bed in every case since he cant win anyway, claim ineffective counsel on appeal hopefully with judges he appointed. If this doesnt work it goes to his stacked supreme court. He already had an attorney in another case say he would be ineffective counsel in advance of the court proceedings (completely unprecedented) which kinda gave up their game plan.

As I recently learned, you can’t appeal on the basis of ineffective counsel in a civil case. Which this one is. That rationale for appeal is for criminal cases only.

So if he planned to do that here, well… it’s not going to work out so well for him.

Seems like I've already read of several cases that went against him under judges he appointed. At this point I'm not even sure if the chuckleheads in the supreme court could be swayed in his favor. Considering how certain he is that everybody loves him, it's not surprising that he thinks there's only a very small minority of people on a witchhunt to get him. His ego couldn't handle learning that millions of people would happily drop him on his ass if they saw him in the street.
