Non-PRO (1): writeaway
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

to prosper
Even were we to reach the merits of this claim, Gannett's cause would not prosper.
Philippines' Supreme Court decision:

Therefore, their action for the quieting of title would not prosper, because they failed to show the invalidity of the cloud on their title.

"I believe that the appeal would not prosper because the arguments in the ruling which denied the extradition of Gusinsky are very solid," Spanish prosecutor Eduardo Fungairino told reporters at the court.

be valid
would not hold up (in the court of law)
More literally, "The court will rule/conclude/declare that the reasons for the case would not hold up."
"Hold up" is very legalese-sounding.
constatera = will declare/rule (conclude)
ne saurait prospérer = could not hold up
I'd hope this helps.
provide a way to success
[would] reach a dead-end
