    What’s the point of such court cases when the loser can simply appeal and appeal and appeal? It’s a stupid system.

    Edit: typo.

      There are limits to appeals. Each appeal up the chain requires that court to agree to hear the challenge of the appeal. Depending on the jurisdicion, I think the limit would be only 3 or 4 appeals with that last one being the Supreme Court of the United States. If the next higher court declines to hear the appeal, the lower courts ruling stands.
