9. Presidential tolling
Fri Jan 10, 2025, 03:11 PM
Friday

I'm thinking the next gambit will be that, since the appeal deadline occurs while he is officially Presidenting, the deadline must be tolled, because an appeal would interfere with his proper exercise of the many powers of the imperial presidency.

No idea what the courts will do with it. Just seems the logical extension of all the other fresh-brewed arguments he's made.
