The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday issued an administrative stay of a gag order imposed by Judge Tanya Chutkan, barring former President Donald Trump from publicly criticizing witnesses and prosecutors in special counsel Jack Smith’s election case.
The stay will remain in place until Tuesday, when Trump’s legal team will have to make its case for shutting down the gag order amid the remainder of the appeals process, The Hill reported. A three-judge panel of the appellate court issued the decision.
Trump’s team has insisted that Chutkan’s order constitutes a First Amendment violation. His attorneys filed an emergency request to suspend the gag order on Thursday evening, saying “[n]o court in American history has imposed a gag order on a criminal defendant who is actively campaigning for public office — let alone the leading candidate for president of the United States.” more
Is it just me or does the pendulum seem to be swinging back the other way?
Let the mean tweets fly, watch liberal/swamp heads EXPLODE!!!!
Question;

the robe-dindu shitcan will do anything
@jellybean — H. Ross Perot. TPTB threatened his family. The details aren’t the same, but the evil intent was, as was the nature of the bad guys. The deep state is more than 30 years old.
I still get the whole “gag order” thing. Since when is calling a dumbass a dumbass illegal?
…don’t get…
(sigh)
Gag orders are judicial abominations.
The maggots in black dresses abhor criticism and criticism of the legal “profession.”
The black-robed cowards live in glass houses and cannot countenance thrown stones.

That’s just before my ‘give-a-shit’ about politics AND I thank you for updating my lack of knowledge….of which I have an overabundance. Seriously–
Over the weekend he will prove exactly why a limited gag order is needed. He is is own worst enemy. Death threats or bodily harm are not part of someone’s campaign unless they are a nutcase. A few fries short of a happy meal, absolutely.
