Gag orders have narrow definitions so as not to infringe upon 1st amendment speech
Trump gets around this by raging at every every person in the periphery of the specific gag order. Can’t talk shit about the jurors or the court clerks? Well judge such-and-such, you didn’t say I couldn’t say anything about you or your daughter! So he spews his vitriol at them and gets away with it. That’s why he got slapped with like 3 increasingly more broad gag orders during the NY fraud trial. Telling Trump to shut his mouth is guaranteed to elicit a reaction.
Judges have already verbally reprimanded him for violating the gag orders and then do nothing to actually hold him accountable, just issue another toothless gag order. What did those 3 gag orders accomplish when he just kept violating them?
Normal people are put in contempt when they violate judges orders multiple times.
Oh, I agree. I would have loved to see actual enforcement of all of his previous gag orders, especially when he immediately turns around and violates it thoughtlessly. It just seems like he’s always on the fringe of a technicality or simply given a verbal reprimand and the courts are willing to let him off the hook as a result. Every single time.
Nothing could convince me more that we are living in a society with a two-tiered justice system than watching this madness unfold. It does not seem to matter how obviously guilty Trump is, the system was designed to give rich and famous people the benefit of the doubt every step of the way. His evasion of justice and open mockery of the law are infuriating to no end.
