Democrats should do exactly what Trump has done with the E. Jean Carroll award: appeal the judgement at every level, using every possible legal argument, then delay, delay, delay the entire process till it grinds to a halt.

Trump has used every legal maneuver imaginable to keep from paying Carroll the million$ he owes her. Democrats, or a group of private citizens in a class action, must file a suit to stop this theft or, at the very least, drag it out till a Democratic Congress (or president) is in power.
