It might be constitutionally protected (none / 0) (#2)

to tap your foot or whatever, but I don't recall him raising any constitutional defenses against the prosecution anywhere in his previous filings.  (I could be wrong on that, but I think I'm right.)  If he didn't, I'd suppose he has a tough road ahead of him in the appellate courts, with the Scylla of "waiver" and the Charybdis of "not raised below" looming ahead of his little balsa raft.

The only one of those bullet points I can see that might (might) get around those is the "judge didn't sign it" one - if you raise that below, the judge will likely say "Oh.  Thank you." and then sign it.  

This is just going to drag it out further.  Good entertainment value, I suppose, but there are more wholesome entertainments out there.

Like Deadeye Dick going pheasant hunting again....
If he can't get Iranians killed, birds are likely the best alternative he can get.  But, the man has to kill something.
