I think, first of all, this whole New York justice system bill is fraudulent in the sense that these are elected Democrats. She is an elected Democrat who, as you point out, campaigned for office on a vow that she would use the power of the state to get him, which is the kind of a Soviet way of going about your business. The judge is an elected Democrat. So the whole system is not like what we have in the federal system where you have appointed prosecutors and appointed judges who are vetted by the Senate, at least in the hope that it will ensure that they won't use their power in an abusive way. In this system, they're actually electing people on a promise of going after individuals, individuals who happen to be their political enemies. So that should be troubling enough. But the other thing is, just in terms of like a sort of Eighth Amendment punishment principle, where you have in this case a situation where the penalty they're talking about is so out of whack with the infraction that it ought to back everybody up. I mean, if you want to tell me that maybe they should fine Trump a million dollars because he inflated his assets, you know, it wouldn't be my way of doing a system, but fine. That's not what they're talking about here. They're talking about in a case where you have no victims of fraud, discouraging him of a quarter of a billion dollars or more of profits and putting him out of business under circumstances where there's not a single person or a single entity that actually got defrauded here.
