Can you legally prevent Trump from making ‘mean tweets’ about you. Sure, all you have to do is have a black robe courtesy of the ruling party.
A federal judge on Monday issued a gag order on former President Donald Trump, limiting what he can say about special counsel Jack Smith’s federal prosecution into his alleged attempt to subvert in the 2020 presidential election.
“This is not about whether I like the language Mr. Trump uses,” Judge Tanya Chutkan said. “This is about language that presents a danger to the administration of justice.”
“His presidential candidacy does not give him carte blanche to vilify public servants who are simply doing their jobs,” the judge added.
Vilifying “public servants” is probably the most fundamental civil right. It’s what distinguishes us from a monarchy or some sort of totalitarian system.
Judge Chutkan would like to be a monarch and has barred Trump from calling her names.
Citizens should be encouraged to vilify public servants.
In social media posts, Trump has attacked Chutkan as a “biased, Trump Hating Judge” and called Smith “deranged” and a “thug” as well as attacked individual members of his team.
“When you start to use a word like ‘thug’ to describe a prosecutor doing their job, that wouldn’t be allowed by any other criminal defendant,” Chutkan said. “Just because the defendant is running a political campaign does not allow him to do whatever he wants.”
She added: “If the message Mr. Trump wants to express is ‘my prosecution is politically motivated,’” he can do so without using “highly charged language.”
What exactly is the harm in calling Jack Smith a “thug”, is there more harm in it than in the things that the media has said about Trump. Or that Chutkan has said about Trump?
There are some limitations on what criminal defendants can say in criminal cases, however the Trump cases are blatantly political cases timed for the election process. And the prosecutors in those cases have felt free to plant stories in the media on a regular basis. Trump cannot properly pursue his political candidacy if he is not able to speak about the biggest political issue facing him: the trials.
Liberal lawyers worship Clarence Darrow whose attacks were absolutely vicious and cruel. And utterly unfair. He claimed that the state shrink “would lick his chops” over the idea of executing a 13-year-old girl even “more gleefully than over his dastardly homicidal attempt to kill these boys” and “when I heard Dr. Krohn testify in this case, to take the blood of these two boys, I could see his mouth water with the joy it gave him, and he showed all the delight and pleasure of myself and my young companions when we ate watermelon” and “I can never imagine a real physician who cared for life or who thought of anything excepting cash, gloating over his testimony, as Dr. Krohn did in this case.”
That’s a whole lot worse than calling someone a thug. Especially when done in front of a jury.
Darrow had set out to destroy the credibility of a witness. Trump wants to destroy the credibility of Chutkan and Smith. Much as there’s been a concerted effort to destroy Trump’s credibility. Trials often hinge on whom you believe.
There’s a First Amendment right for people to speak out, especially in their own defense. We don’t live in a monarchy that insulates Chutkan and her fellow devoted “public servants” from criticism.
The Cheka is above criticism and above reproach. Or else.
Trump needs to ignore that illegal order.
Fuck that bitch.
“F that B?” You do have a way with words, Jeff. President Trump claims he’s being railroaded by a kangaroo court and by ordering him to shut up the presiding judge– the B–makes the president’s case. “F that B,” indeed.
Trump has already ignored the illegal “gag order,” ha haw!
I think he’s getting sick and tired of this shit. I sure hope he wreaks all kinds of revenge on these scummy criminals when he’s reelected. America needs a purge. Like taking a huge dump and overloading my toilet bowl.
Is THAT even constitutional? (Totally apart from the constitutionality of charging one with a crime for challenging an election outcome as fraudulent and illegal.) I think that Article III of the U. S. Constitution should be amended to impose retroactive terms of office, and term limits on both Trial Court Judges and Court of Appeals Judge in the Federal Judicial System. IMO many federal judges have become politicized and should be removed from office. Of course, this must be done in a reasonable and legally defensible way. But the fact is, some federal judges have been on the federal bench for far too long, and some federal judges never should have become federal judges in the first place. I myself have not decided about SCOTUS Justices yet. They are different. Their office is inherently policy-making, but maybe even SCOTUS Justices should be limited to service for only a fixed term of office, and then they are OUT! The details of all of this (such as the length of a term) could be determined in the legislative process.
I think it’s safe to say at this point that the Left does not care about the Constitution, other than to chew away at it until it is just a heap of frass.
Washington, George, the real one, declined a crown. Judge Tanya the Queen Chutkan orders Donald Trump to abide by lèse-majesté.
If leftists had their way, ALL conservative Americans would be under a gag order.
“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”
~ George Orwell
“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to it’s citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.”
~ Harry S. Truman
Give ’em hell, Harry.
Orwell sure had a way with words, didn’t he? I’m sure you’ve read his collection of essays. Good stuff.
Can I call Tanya Chutkan a whore, clown, and disgusting sack of feces? Let’s find out. Can I recommend that groups of illegals gang thank her for her service? They should thank her for hours on end, thanking her everywhere she can possibly be thanked. Thank her until she screams for the thanking to stop, then thank her some more. Take turns repeatedly thanking her.
Hey Tanya!! THANK YOU!!
That’s a thug acting as a dictator judge.
People do have every right to call out any government employee any time for any reason.
That “judge” has a pretty thin skin under her black robe, another reason for her to get off the bench.
I actually think this is a welcome development. It will allow Trump’s attorneys to take an interlocutory appeal (an appeal prior to trial and verdict) all the way to the Supreme Court and give it a hook for reviewing the entire political prosecution of Trump. Or so I hope. The plot had been to convict Trump before the election and make him unelectable even if the cases are later overturned. This radically upsets that timeline.
This judge needs to be perimetry removed from the bench and investigated
She needs a public cavity search.
Judge Tanya Chutkan:
“When you start to use a word like ‘thug’ to describe a prosecutor doing their job, that wouldn’t be allowed by any other criminal defendant,”
All my life I’ve been told that in the US people are innocent until proven guilty so Trump is not a criminal as Ms. Da-Judge states, he is a defendant in a criminal case. Is this cause for removal? Maybe, but it won’t happen, not in that district. It might, however, be cause for an appeal, if needed. (with thanks & credit to Chris Salcedo)
Chris Salcedo. I love that guy!
The United States of America has an equal right to a fair and impartial jury pool as Trump does.
Time for the patriots in the US, legal voters, to stop voting for the Evil Party. But today, the Stupid Party is all hung up on House speaker votes. From Biden on down through Congress, the people we pay for are angry and yet the world, the US, Israel, all our own problems from open borders to illegals, from crime to poor education continue and we pay for these people I say again and again.
This America, not bean land.
This “is” America.
I should learn to type.
Nobody is above criticism, and no criminal defendant can contaminate a jury pool. That’s all well settled law.
