The Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear President Donald Trump's appeal of the E. Jean Carroll sexual abuse verdict, leaving a $5 million judgment against him intact.
A jury found Trump liable in 2023 for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll in a New York department store dressing room in the mid-1990s.
They also found he defamed her when he denied it. The verdict carried $5 million in damages.....
The Supreme Court rescheduled the case from one private conference to the next 15 times since February before Monday's denial. CNN reported that only one other case had been rescheduled as often this term.
Georgetown Law professor Steve Vladeck drew a key distinction: the court kept "rescheduling" the petition, not "relisting" it. Relisting means the justices are actually discussing the case. Rescheduling means they are not.
"It is really difficult to believe that the Court would show anywhere near the same kind of procedural deference to any litigant other than Trump," Vladeck wrote.
Carroll can now move to collect the $5 million.

According to Reuters, he'd had to put $5.55m in a federal court account to make his appeal

It's good to know the Supreme Court is still capable of doing the right thing once in a while.
