As Trump is quick to remind us, Letitia James promised voters that she would be all about grievance politics and the personal destruction of POTUS 45.
She told ABC news that if Trump can't find the cash to pay the fine, she'll seize his assets.
Trump was fined $354.8 million plus approximately $100 million in pre-judgment interest on Friday after Judge Arthur Engoron determined that he inflated his net worth in order get more favorable loan terms.
That brings us to the 8th Amendment, which Trump brought up in his town hall with Laura Ingraham.
Excessive fines are a cheap source of revenue, in the case of Trump being a lot of revenue, especially for a state that has been bleeding population and high-income taxpayers.
In pressing an 8th Amendment challenge, the political biases of both Judge Engoron and Letitia James will go under the microscope.
The predators who weaponized the government against a citizen will find themselves in legal jeapordy, possibly selling their own property to cover Trump's damages.
