Incredible. The 11th Circuit, in a 3-0 opinion (two Obama appointees and one Trump 1.0 appointee), agrees that Trump and his lawyers have failed to rebut the judge's finding that the entire IRS settlement was collusive, highlighting that no other explanation for their conduct was even offered.

IV
The appellants mount two main attacks on the district
court’s speech-related sanction. First, they argue that the court
lacked a sufficient basis to find that the lawsuit and the settlement
were collusive and that Messrs. Brito and Epstein acted in bad faith.
Second, they contend that the sanction is a broad and impermissible gag order which constitutes a prior restraint and violates the
First Amendment. We conclude that the appellants have not made
a strong showing that they will succeed on either of these grounds.

The appellants did not submit or offer any evidence to explain their litigation conduct or demonstrate that the lawsuit and the settlement were not collusive. Given the record before us, the
appellants have not made a strong showing that the district court
committed clear error in its collusion and bad faith findings

When you are a lawyer and I am not, could you speak English and not send me prints of documents I wish to know about but not read? Thanks.

At what point should people reach the conclusion that the point of these cases is not necessarily to win their claim, but to establish the basis for false accusations made to voters to delegitimise courts altogether?

What’s incredible is not this court ruling. But the fact that Dotard Donald and his sycophants thought they could do this and nobody courts public etc. would see through it!

The opinion is very civil and dry, but in the details it's extremely scathing. The Circuit is basically saying the Trump lawyers failed to raise *any* substantial points.

You mean to say that the court didn't buy their "Because we say so" argument? The govt will be sure to take this to SCOTUS, which recent history has shown us is much more credulous.

Is this good or bad? The triple, double negatives are difficult to follow for people without a law degree!

Trump will appeal and SCOTUS cons will say, "Listen, we made Trump king, so of course he and his get out of jail forever"

Your 'two Obama appointees and one Trump 1.0 appointee' parenthetical only acts to undermine the integrity of the judiciary, i.e., doesn't provide your readers with any meaningful/useful information they can use in a productive manner. So, why do you do it?
