Trump immediately moves to appeal after federal judge rejects complaint about 'local hostilities' in hush-money case

A federal judge for the second time put the kibosh on Donald Trump’s attempt to remove his hush-money case from New York state court, but before the day was done on Tuesday lawyers for the former president filed their notice of appeal.

“Notice is hereby given that President Donald J. Trump, the above-captioned defendant, appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit,” said the notice submitted by Emil Bove and Todd Blanche, challenging Senior U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein’s refusal.

Last Thursday, the defense filed their removal notice in the hopes of shutting down a Sept. 18 sentencing date, vacating Trump’s 34 falsification of business records guilty verdicts, and potentially setting the stage for dismissing the state prosecution in federal court, based on the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling in Trump v. United States and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s (D) use of “official acts” evidence, including tweets, at trial.

The removal notice came a couple of weeks after acting New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan for the third time declined to recuse himself from the case. The defense argued that “asserted conflicts and appearances of impropriety,” including the judge’s criticism of “Trump’s use of Twitter” in a 2019 conversation with his daughter, a political consultant for the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign and other Democrats, made it inappropriate for Merchan to decide ahead of sentencing whether “2018 Tweets were official acts under Trump v. United States.”

My understanding is that he demands everyone around him refer to him as Mr. President or President Caligula and gets pissed off otherwise. Judges referring to him as “Mr” have him throwing ketchup, I’m sure. And as you said, he’s not in office, so he’s not eligible to be called that. “Former pResident” is all he should and is entitled to get…at best. IMO, “Mr Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent” is more than sufficient “honor” for him.

In fact, very few filing errors get a filing dismissed outright.
