TFG's attys made the offer in court papers asking the state's mid-level appeals court for an order preventing #NYAG #LetitiaJames' office from enforcing the $454M judgment while his #appeal plays out.

If scotus says Presidents are immune from any prosecutions, Biden can break all the justices’ knees with a baseball bat and the justices can’t do anything to stop him or punish him afterwards.
Not that I’m saying he should do that…
A third #Alabama #IVF clinic has halted treatment as the fallout from last week’s state Supreme Court ruling that frozen #embryos are legally #children continues to disrupt IVF access across the state.
The Center for Reproductive Medicine in Mobile, 1 of just 7 IVF clinics statewide, announced Thurs that it had paused IVF procedures in light of the court ruling.

Fmr #Trump atty #JohnEastman plans to appeal his #disbarment.
His lawyer says it's unfair Eastman should have to fight #criminal charges in #Georgia w/o being able to earn money as a #lawyer to pay his #legal bills.
This is like a convicted drug dealer saying it’s unfair he can no longer sell crack because he has to pay his lawyer.
Ridiculous.
