Judge Imposes Gag On Trump In Manhattan Criminal Trial.

[Rigby5]

If "the Judge" considers it a threat then it is an illegal threat. Quit being emotional and weepy, Weather53.

Wrong.
A judge cannot rule something is illegal.
Something is not illegal until another impartial court case comes down with a guilty verdict.
This is not a dictatorship and judges do not dictate law.
All a judge can do is regulate the conduct in his courtroom.
They can NOT control and dictate what happens outside of the courtroom.
If the judge feels threatened by what Trump is saying, then he has to talk a prosecutor into pressing charges over it. Which he not only has not done, but clearly would never be able to do, since Trump said nothing threatening.

Does not matter.

The gag order is still illegal.

Wrong

it is legal

Your ignorant and uneducated opinion does not define the law

 

[dudmuck]

Does not matter.

The gag order is still illegal.

In general, courts have held that gagging people involved in trials is more acceptable than similar orders issued against the press. Gag orders against people involved in the case is often necessary to maintain the integrity of the judicial process. The goal is a fair trial for everyone involved. You can study more about it here. On appeal, they had narrowed on of the gag orders before. They always weigh free speech rights with the need to protect a fair trial.

The women in Georgia conducted election business without the presence of observers, which is illegal.

The ones on camera all the time ?

The Judge, of course, can consider and use threats from outside his courtroom to punish activity aimed to interrupt a court's course.

Poor Trumpy.... Hah Hah Ha! Yep, I watch his little courthouse entrance and exit rants. Just like The Peoples Court but I know what to expect... the same old scared shitless shell of a man.

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

Attacking the government is EXACTLY what the first amendment is about, dumb ass foreigner.

"attacking?" Nope. Not exactly, but what can people expect from you.

 

[TNHarley]

"attacking?" Nope. Not exactly, but what can people expect from you.

Verbally, yes. Sorry for your luck, boot licker

 

[beautress]

Yes, Trump's attacking witnesses, prosecutors and jurors are threats to the rule of law.

He will learn even if they have to take the rest of his money.

Trump will abide the law or go into the ditch.

So his enemies are entitled to undress him, but he cannot tell them.about any of them even if it is the truth. GOT IT!

The New York judge presiding over one of Donald J. Trump’s criminal trials imposed a gag order on Tuesday that prohibits him from attacking witnesses, prosecutors and jurors, the latest effort to rein in the former president’s wrathful rhetoric about his legal opponents.

Judge Imposes Gag Order on Trump in Manhattan Criminal Trial

The order limiting the former president’s speech came after Justice Juan M. Merchan set an April 15 trial date for the case, which involves a sex scandal cover-up.

www.nytimes.com

The judge, Juan M. Merchan, imposed the order at the request of the Manhattan district attorney’s office, which brought the case against Mr. Trump. The district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, has accused Mr. Trump of covering up a potential sex scandal during and after his 2016 campaign.

The ruling comes on the heels of Justice Merchan’s setting an April 15 trial date, rejecting Mr. Trump’s latest effort to delay the proceeding. It will mark the first criminal prosecution of a former American president.

Hmm. I thought the United States Constitution allowed free speech for everyone, and that state judges have to obey their oaths of office to hold true for all persons have freedom to say what they think is the truth, especially.if it is associated with the Federal judicial system.

Free speech is free speech, Chief.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Free speech is free speech, Chief.

... except when it is not.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Free speech is free speech, Chief.

This is not about his enemies in the slightest.

There is no whataboutism.

 

[para bellum]

The ones on camera all the time ?

Yes, cameras are not substitutes for election observers.

And Georgia has passed new laws that will deter that from happening again.

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

It did not happen before.

 

[Clipper]

Yes and that’s what you speech censors feel you are entitled to

Trump gave the judge no choice but to slap him with a gag a maggot order. Because that's what Trump is. A fucking maggot who doesn't have enough brains to shut his big mouth.

Plus he's a psychopath.
