The misunderstanding isn't yours, it's the general publics understanding of the legal system and it's processes. Which has been misinformed by decades of American criminal dramas like Law and Order, CSI, and NCIS. No one in this thread will go to rich people court like Trump gets to, we all get regular court if we get the privileged right to a court date. So when misinformed Trump supporters hear the judge ruled from the bench they see an overreach. When Trump's legal team presented such a bad defense and showed a complete disregard for the court and it's ruling in their opinion it wasn't his team who did a bad job, but a judge who never gave him a chance.

Does it qualify as bad faith if I ask my previous questions knowing that he had nothing and/or complete unhinged nonsense?
