It depends on the judge’s ruling. If dismissed with prejudice, it cannot be appealed but those types of cases are usually when one person sues another as a harassing tactic.

Can a dismissal be appealed?

To who? The Ninth Circus Court of Appeals? They are off-the-scale left.

What does prejudice mean when applied to a case?

The headline ought to be: “Mexico, Mexicans, put finishing touches on reconquest of Southern California” — Los Angeles is no longer an American city, it is a Third World hell hole.

“Then they deserve the mess they’ve got with the gangs, destroyed neighborhoods, shootings and all the rest of the illegal alien cultural “benefits”...”

Have you ever lived in a community and watched it be transformed by ‘outsiders’ and all the protesting you did was meaningless? First Southern Oregon went the way of the Californians and ecofreaks moving in and bringing with them their liberal problems....same as the Mexican illegals.....move away from it, but drag it home to me. Then they instituted a bunch of liberal laws...Oregon health plan, etc. and the invasion really started. Now the illegals know it’s a sanctuary, and it’s full scale.

No, Czar, we don’t all deserve it, but like any culture that
has been driven from their home by people who think they deserve what you have, no one hears us. Not even in a court of law...equal justice for all? Well, some of us are more equal than others. The few who hear seem to have no power, but history is full of that problem.

Even if the court had been just and heard this case, and the plaintiff prevailed....who is to say the city of LA would do what the court said. And who would make them? The feds? LOL

In the early 1830’s some Cherokee Indians filed suit against Jackson and his Indian removal act. They prevailed in the US Supreme court which held the Indians had every right of any US citizen to their lands, that they were as equal as any sovereign state of the union. Jackson said if the SCOTUS wanted their edict enforced, he wasn’t going to do it. And we all know how that turned out, don’t we?

And yes, I do believe it’s gotten that bad again.

Some historians contend Congressman David Crockett’s political career ended because of his support for the Cherokee against President Jackson’s removal plans. Crockett explains his position in 1834:
“.......His famous, or rather I should say infamous, Indian bill was brought forward, and I opposed it from the purest motives in the world. Several of my colleagues got around me, and told me how well they loved me, and that I was ruining myself. They said this was a favourite measure of the president, and I ought to go for it. I told them I believed it was a wicked, unjust measure, and that I should go against it, let the cost to myself be what it might; that I was willing to go with General Jackson in everything that I believed was honest and right; but further than this I wouldn’t go for him, or any other man in the whole creation.
I voted against this Indian bill, and my conscience yet tells me that I gave a good honest vote, and that I believe will not make me ashamed in the day of judgment.”

Or the McCain Administration. He’d fit right in.

The worst part of this is that it got no national coverage, and Sharpton and Jackson, awol of course if it’s the real deal .

What a mess. Imagine how that mother who served in Iraq, feels about her son’s life being ‘dismissed.’
