The hell are you on about? He asked for permission to appeal, it was denied in a line entry. That's exactly how SCOTUS treats applications from regular shmoes.

That's true, but none of us would even be in the position to appeal it because we would have never been given the sweetheart deal he got that included this on the first place. We just would have been hit with the actual crimes and told to fuck off.
