Agree - this ruling seems to deviate from the normal process. DISGUSTING. n/t iluvtennis Mar 25 #29

In a majority of states, the law now caps the amount of supersedeas bond that can be required. onenote Mar 25 #83

It is well within the court's statutory authority to reduce or even forgo any bond requirement onenote Mar 25 #63

Oh, come on. Ocelot II Mar 25 #37

As was pointed out elsewhere. State law dictates pay the amount of judgment for the bond. LiberalFighter Mar 25 #48

State law expressly allows the the court to reduce or even forego the bond payment requirement. onenote Mar 25 #64

Given that the poster is advocating for the entire court to be abolished, I don't think that will resonate MichMan Mar 25 #67
