In reply to the discussion: My prediction for tomorrow - judge, in addition to protective order, issues gag order sua sponte [View all]

(58,785 posts)77. According to Axios today, Judge Merchan of Manhattan District Court
might (conceivably) issue one. Judge Chutkan. Guessing not what's-her-corrupt-face down in Florida. But soon tRump will be indicted in GA, where he's of course threatening everyone whose name would be recognized, and that judge could issue one too.

Six hours after a New York judge warned former President Trump he could be penalized for any remarks that endangered others, Trump stepped to a microphone in Florida — and practically dared the judge to do just that.
"I have a Trump-hating judge," Trump said in a barrage of insults aimed at Judge Juan Merchan, the judge's family, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and more.

Wish they could issue a gag-and-truss order. Might suit "leading Republican presidential candidate" tRump's purposes even better than just a gag, but for sure it would suit mine.

That's a good bet. She has little choice. But each day will bring more violations of the order.

I guess it was about a year ago. A judge in N.J. was assassinated. These judges need to know that

The question is if she has the courage to jail him, even for a day, or just issue fines that he will

Trump is betting the judge doesn't have the guts to jail him. He is wrong as usual.
