Trump Loses in Court, Again

A federal appeals court on Monday upheld a jury’s finding in a civil case that Donald Trump sexually abused a columnist in an upscale department store dressing room in the mid-1990s.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a written opinion upholding the $5 million award that the Manhattan jury granted to E. Jean Carroll for defamation and sexual abuse
.

What I remember from appellate practice, decades ago, is that a per curiam happens when the appeals court would like to start its opinion by addressing to the losing party as "you dumb shit". In this case, a long opinion is laying out to the Supremes why the appellant/loser is a dumb shit.
