Neal Katyal on gag order barring Trump from smearing witnesses

#Trump #Politics #Election

At what point does the judicial system stop drawing a line in the sand? Down the road, many defendants will use the trump cases as precedent.

[fiddlersthree]

Would love to see some analysis of Judge Cannon's recent antics. She seems to be flying under the radar which is a very dangerous thing.

[Kathy-prwu]

Neal was surprised the judge didn't do what she said she was going to do. I was NOT AT ALL surprised because like I've said several times now, WE HAVE WEAK JUDGES!!! I've given up on them, I have zero faith in them doing what should and needs to be done.

[momabug]

Are the justices afraid of another Jan 6, if he gets locked up. Sickening

[BlueTsunami.]

A straitjacket and Thorazine always works. 🤷‍♂️

[edwardcone]

Really disgusting that Trump gets "special treatment." Doesn't everyone realize that he's running for prez again to avoid jail time? I mean, come on! Why else would he have declared he is running some two years before the election?

[michaelvidal]

For once DJT did something he said he would do and has appealed the order. He must really want to have the ability to threaten people with impunity.

[RWROW]

Move the trial date up to late 2023 if Trump violates his gag order.

[spidalack]

The double standard shown here is insane. Clearly, the rich and powerful don't get held to the same standard as ordinary people in the US, but a much lower one.

[ronaldcole]

Like a Warner Brothers cartoon with Bugs Bunny saying, "just one more time and I'll...." with nothing ever happening.

[standard]

Funny how calls this order unconstitutional when he also says he never swore to support the constitution?

[boorockomamba]

People have been noticing something different about Trump lately. It can best be described as an air of irrelevancy. There have been many opinions of Trump over the years, but no one has ever thought of him as irrelevant. Something has changed.

[kimbercole]

Someone said this "don't worry Donnie, it's not prison, it's 'alternative freedom'. Which i thought was perfect and had to share it!

[joyceroberts]

Violate the gag order, as we all know Trump will do, move the trial date. Judge Chutkan

[bullgatorteam]

1st amendment rules...this will be overturned on appeal..."prior restraint" cannot stand.

[michael]

Ha ha ha. Empty threats are candy to Trump...who SHOWS how meaningless threats without enforcement are.

[jmdec]

No burgers and cokes on the toilet in your cell on demand.

[rainbow]

The attorney for defendant DJT has been eating bird crap.

[Thethelement]

If I were Trump’s judge, I’d move up his court date to this year because he will violate the gag order. 😂

[sunshinelizard]

I understand Trump's point of view though; if he can't threaten, bully and lambast with runs of adjectives and word salads, he won't have anything to say. He's not intelligent nor informed enough to debate, so he avoids those scenarios. He has no alternative but to break the gag orders. I hope his trial date gets moved as far up as possible.
