Two related comments pertinent to court cases and appeals. First, yes, regular people can appeal assuming they have the financial resources to pay lawyers. Second, one is curious about the extent of financial burden that taxpayers have had to take on because of the administration's efforts to push through legally uncertain cases at all levels. How might this compare to previous administrations? Are taxpayers paying for some cases that should actually be shouldered directly by the Trump family or businesses or Trump personally? What fraction of DOJ cases seem unusual in terms of what historically has been the perceived appropriate missions of the DOJ, although certainly what kinds of cases the DOJ pursues is always somewhat dependent on the focus of the AG and the administration?

I hope that if there ever is a next administration that ballroom is converted to a homeless shelter or a portrait gallery of all the enslaved individuals who labored to build the White House.
