Regular people get convicted and go to jail. They leave the courthouse in handcuffs and go directly to lock-up. If they file an appeal, they wait it out in prison. If they say they want to appeal all the way to the Supreme Court, they get laughed at.

What kind of mojo do these MAGA traitors have to get treated like royalty. It is like our criminal justice system is embarrassed to trouble these prima donnas with trivialities like penalties.
