What I consider telling is most of the commentary in the wake of today’s ruling is not “Oh, he’s gonna appeal and get this ruling overturned!” but instead “Oh, well he can probably get this ruling reduced on appeal.” The only people who genuinely seem to believe that he’s gonna beat the system and walk away without paying a cent…are the same sort of people who think fluoride in drinking water is a government conspiracy to make you susceptible to mind control.
