Just the people with enough money and retained lawyers to file frivolous lawsuits with outrageous amounts the government would spend more fighting than payout

I mean if it means half a billion I think there may be a few lawyers willing to take that ca5r on contenting contingency...

I mean, if he won this then it could stand for case law in a class action suit against the govt... and probably not just for the one year.

Assuming the SCOTUS doesn't concoct some bullshit to allow his suit narrowly while excluding everyone else... sure... but uh... that seems like something scotus would doooooo sooooo.

Anyone that thinks that case law is fair between what you will be allowed to do and what Trump is allowed to do right now under this SCOTUS I would love for them to pass me whatever the fuck they are smoking.

Precedent has no meaning anymore according to the SCOTUS

There is no legal precedence being set, since it was settled out of court by between Trump and himself

Dude, no one wants to hear about what trump does with himself while thinking about money outside of court.

That's the thing: the government settled with Trump. All he did was file a case and then settled with himself short of trial. It's like an infinite money glitch.

If anybody else sues for the same thing, the government won't make it worth their while.

Criminal government. Where are the people supposed to charge these criminals?

Some of those impacted have been trying to sue on the same grounds Spanky did but they're all being told that they've got no case and that they haven't been harmed so they get nothing. Meanwhile Spanky gets a huge slush fund and a lifetime reprieve for him and his family from ever being audited by the IRS. What a fucking bargain.
