Ya it's only been two days since the state supreme court ruling. Oberlin could keep appealing to the feds, which they may do. Imo the "when will we see our money" is a bit silly; an emotional appeals when this process always entails a ton of legal appeals before the …final_final_forReal.PDF decision is handed down.
- ifsothen 4y agoOnly appeal from a state supreme court decision is directly to the US Supreme Court, which is generally not very interested in those kinds of appeals.
- drewbeck 4y agoAh yes of course, spaced on the Ohio court not actually ruling in this case. thx
- koolba 4y agoFor more than 30 million dollars I wouldn’t be surprised if they give it shot on first amendment grounds. The gamble would be the additional legal fees v.s. the chance of success.
- Analemma_ 4y agoNot a chance. The current Supreme Court is going to relish denying appeal in this case.
- coffeeblack 4y agoAh, that makes more sense. So they are still open routes for appeals and the ruling isn’t final yet.
- tengwar2 4y agoFrom a UK perspective, it is not obvious that they can keep appealing. Here there needs to be a legal basis for an appeal. I am not sure about civil cases, but the criminal case grounds for appeal appear to be: * new evidence - but only under a set of conditions including that there was a reasonable explanation for the failure to adduce it; * appeal against sentence. Notably there doesn't seem to be an option for "we don't like the verdict". A judge must grant a certificate of appeal before the case can go ahead - someone can't decide unilaterally that they will appeal. Appeals are nowhere near as common here as in the USA
