She is seeking to revoke Trump Org's charter to operate as a New York corporation and to permanently bar the former president, his sons, Donald Trump, Jr. and Eric Trump, and two top Trump Org executives from ever running a business in the state again, among other sought penalties

Why stop there? Why doesn't this fair and not at all activist radical extend the prohibition to anyone supporting the Bad Orange Man (bad-bad)?

It has already been extended but from the angle of the FBI which I covered here.

Sondergericht (plural: Sondergerichte) was a German "special court". After taking power in 1933, the Nazis quickly moved to remove internal opposition to the Nazi regime in Germany. The legal system became one of many tools for this aim and the Nazis gradually supplanted the normal justice system with political courts with wide-ranging powers.

Thanks for the info. I hadn't known that detail.

And the source of the part of the title about the ruling so rare that the only previous time it's been attempted on such a grand scale was when the same judge sought the corporate death penalty in her three-year-old, ongoing fraud lawsuit against the NRA, which failed.

Nothing surprising here. Because breaking up his businesses and selling them off for parts is irreparable, the courts will stay the judgement until the appeal process is over.

judge has already ruled that she gets to confiscate all Trump family businesses and assets and distribute them as the court/she sees fit...

This is wrong. They have to sell them and do due diligence to get a good price. The cash is distributed to Trump. (Less tax, for the first time in a long while).

That was a quote from this article but as you said is not quite correct. They will take $250 million off top and she, the judge, says.

Could Trump transfer everything to a new, non-New York corporation and keep running things from out of state? Florence thinks not.

"He can't because he, Donald Trump, is no longer in charge," she said.

She continued: "The receiver will be in charge, and they are answerable to the court. Trump can't tell the receiver what to do."

Still, she added: "I think nothing will happen for a long time. It'll be years, I think."

But if the court has its way, and the ruling survives the inevitable appeals, "Trump will ultimately get the cash," she said, though "he could try to bid on the properties like anybody else."

Well, yes, the penalty includes a fine. That's not a judge "taking it off the top".

But if the court has its way, and the ruling survives the inevitable appeals, "Trump will ultimately get the cash," she said, though "he could try to bid on the properties like anybody else."

If he's got spare cash. If he's wiped out he'll only be able to bid for what he can borrow, or on properties that come up later if he's received the cash for the ones sold earlier.
