33. He filed in the same court he had to file in last time. It's a matter of correct jurisdiction, not judge shopping.

MASSIVE BREAKING: Judge strikes down Trump's $15 Billion lawsuit against the New York Times. [View all] LetMyPeopleVote Sep 19 OP

A federal judge just sumamrily struck Trump's complaint against the New York Times, calling it, essentially, garbage. LetMyPeopleVote Sep 19 #1

Yeah, but all he really did was tell them to shorten it. They can refile within 30 days. nt pnwmom Sep 19 #18

But it was a nice smack down for 80+ pages of superfluous MadameButterfly Sep 19 #59

I was disappointed because the title made me think the decision was on substantive grounds. pnwmom Sep 19 #61

Yep - I know. My intention was that he was hoping for another judge who had her sense of the law...and loyalty. CincyDem Sep 19 #17

Why was this one filed in the Middle District? sl8 Sep 19 #49

I don't know, all the more puzzling that he filed it in the same middle district he filed against the NYT last year. ancianita Sep 19 #51

I would love to see trump appeal this ruling but it is more likely that he will refile LetMyPeopleVote Sep 19 #43

He can't; this isn't an appealable order. Ocelot II Sep 19 #58

Predictable. When trump appeals he'll get the same SCOTUS ruling he got in his 2024 suit. ancianita Sep 19 #24

He'll appeal to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, lose there, then to SCOTUS. Wasting valuable court time losing ancianita Sep 19 #36

trump was never going to be deposed in this case and so he may well appeal LetMyPeopleVote Sep 19 #45

Exactly. All the more reason to see his pattern and slap a fine on him for filing a SLAPP suit. ancianita Sep 19 #50

He's not going to appeal. He will re-file consistent with the judge's order. onenote Sep 19 #38

He can't appeal. This dismissal isn't an appealable order. Ocelot II Sep 19 #54
