Quick summary: Trump said that his 2019 statements defaming E. Jean, shouldn't have been used as evidence in the trial. However, my brief points out that Trump should've mentioned that in the certiorari petition, November 2025, instead of waiting for the July rehearing petition!
It gets worse/better: I discovered that the jury was ordered not even to consider those statements -- but Trump didn't even mention that in his rehearing petition! Quite a titanic omission there!! And I told the Court all that.
So, if my brief was helpful in securing the Court's denying rehearing of Trump's case, I'm not complaining! Go Team EJC! God bless!!! :DDDDD
The denial of rehearing is the 3rd item from the top on page 2, buried among many other denials. Just one more small sad note in legal history -- but a great victory for the great Elizabeth Jean Carroll!! :D :D :D
It is SO sad. I can't imagine all the pain she seems to have gone through. I remember watching Ally McBeal and Hayden played her daughter(?) she was very young and so talented. Ugh. Hurts to even think about her pain.
"Incidentally", everyone on the planet can now say "Donald Trump is a rapist" without fear of lawsuit, as long as they give the disclaimer that Judge Lewis Kaplan said it was "digital rape", or rape by common-sense terms. (Even if not rape per se under the N.Y. Penal Code)
The $83.3 million defamation case is still alive, but the rape (digital)/sexual battery/abuse/assault case is set in stone forever, on E. Jean's side! (Unless there's a Constitutional amendment setting it aside, say -- very unlikely!!) :D
Thanks 🙏🏼 for clarifying David Boyle. You are clearly an excellent jurist. I’m so happy that the “old lady” is so young at heart - not to mention quite elegant - and has a great fighting spirit. From Canada’s capital, I’m cheering all of you onward. There are much better days ahead …. Hopefully you can all take a bow 🙇 on November 3rd when … JUSTICE IS SERVED! I can’t wait. Congratulations to E. Jean, her legal team and her erstwhile circle of friends. What a great team fighting for democracy.
We need to tap a bigger-sized heart for our love for E. Jean and her legal beagle team, friends, colleagues and supporters … for their to-the-moon-sized spunk, spirit, intelligence, wit, quick-ness AND for role-modeling strategies to refuse being beaten down AND/OR denied our voice(s) and rights.
WOW! Kate you are an impressive woman. 👩 As you well know, Mr T (poor, unlettered fellow!) lives in a fantasy world of his own perverse making. I hope that some day you will encounter him (in a safe social setting) and have the opportunity to share with him your accurate insights about his legion/surplus of shortcomings, selfishness and cruelty. His lone saving grace - for which he cannot take credit! - is his wonderful and brave niece Mary. She is everything that he is not! As are you.
, mentions his family (some of them are not too guilty, I think), so that may not be totally fair. But for the rest of it, if it's metaphorical (no death, no real-life actual cesspool), maybe that's not too bad. :D Sorry for the confusion! And the first part of your post was really great. :D :D
I appreciate you for taking the time to share your thoughts, so I’ll add more.
The only Trump I believe is Mary. I “drop in” on her writings now and then, since she published Never Enough.
Re: my “cesspool” comment: though a bit of a “Pollyanna”, I am certain there will be no DT deathbed change of … heart.
He’s a real life, a better withered Scrooge than Scrooge.
“It’s okay to dream”, really it is, and we must.
But Trump’s dream(s) have nothing to do with truth, justice and/or the state of his constituents or the world.
There is no “American Way” for him, only beastly selfishness and MORE MORE MORE.
He surrounds/cocoons himself with wannabe uber-rich powerbrokers and sycophants, and admires nation + world leaders who match the profile… until he doesn’t. He trusts no one, except maybe his “secretary”… but past practices are impossible to ignore: if threatened, he would throw anyone “under a fast-moving train”.
Bruce - the guy thinks everything is a best of 7. But now he’s lost 4 (40?) in a row to this sweet lady (and her fabulous legal team) whom we adore. The Supreme Court has told him, “Game over!” Twice! (Ok … I lost count ..lol) SCOTUS is the “end of the line”. In our heads we say to him, “Get it? No? Really? Are you actually that thick?!
Okay … you are.”

If only we could accomplish that through wishful thoughts. Instead, we’ll fight on inspired by the indefatigable E. Jean Carroll.
Ha! He’s on a perpetual losing streak! So tired o winning ‘lol
Lets keep the momentum through November
Very happy for E. Jean once more! :D :D :P :D
The brief I filed last Tuesday in the $83.3 million case at the Supreme Court, https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/26/26-141/418720/20260811233845882_26-141_bsac_DavidBoyle.pdf , on docket page https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/26-141.html , actually gives reasons for the Court to reject the $5 million case, too, as they did today.

By the way, here's the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) order list from today, https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/081726zor_8m59.pdf .
The denial of rehearing is the 3rd item from the top on page 2, buried among many other denials. Just one more small sad note in legal history -- but a great victory for the great Elizabeth Jean Carroll!! :D :D :D
Thank you, Mr Boyle! Well done!
Thanks. -- Switching topic: too bad about Hayden Panettiere. RIP.
Heartbroken.
knew she was troubled, but she really had "it" - when she was onscreen, you watched her; wish someone had been able to reach her.
Agree, very sad.
It is SO sad. I can't imagine all the pain she seems to have gone through. I remember watching Ally McBeal and Hayden played her daughter(?) she was very young and so talented. Ugh. Hurts to even think about her pain.
Thank you for helping our heroine
"Meow"!
Well done, David! Thanks for sharing some excellent news for your legal team and for the amazing E Jean. Going to raise a toast 🥂 to you all.
Thanks for the explanation. Great job!
You're super welcome!

Groovy, baby! :)
Cuz he is the perpetual loser!

Very happy for you more than words can say- all hail the mighty warrior!!!!

May our
(sorry to say, but it must be said)
damaged goods of a P.O.S. President
(+ his family),
receive their final “reward”
in the cesspool of their creation.

Except "cesspool" part ;P
If you don’t mind, would you tell me more about ”cesspool” exception? Thanks. Kate
Clarifying: I meant to say

He’s a mean one, Mr. President Trump.
My apologies, I DO go on.
But you make great points! :D
Go Mary! :DD
