(82,849 posts)Doesn't matter; the whole point of the appeal is to kick the can down the road for another six weeks, then go to the Supreme Court, then get remanded back to the district court, then appeal whatever the district court orders, and go back to the 2nd Circuit, then ask the Supreme Court again, and start the whole time-wasting process all over again. As long as Trump's attorneys go another day without a final order or judgment in place that they have to obey or pay, that's a winning day.

(108,304 posts)A panel of appellate court judges on Friday appeared skeptical of President Trump's latest challenge against Manhattan prosecutors' grand jury subpoena for his tax returns and other financial records.
Three judges for the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals questioned the argument put forth by the president's legal team that the Manhattan district attorney's subpoena is overly broad and should be thrown out.
Judge Pierre Leval seemed unconvinced by their theory that the district attorney's office should not be allowed to subpoena documents on a broad range of Trump's business dealings.
"It's investigating fraud with respect to a tax return filed in New York, by a New York taxpayer," said Leval, who was appointed by former President Clinton. "It needs to investigate all the documents on which that tax return will be based and there's no reason why that wouldn't include business operations outside the county of New York."
