This is not about censorship,

Sure it is, that's what gagging is.

It's not my problem you don't understand semantics.

I do enjoy you attempting to argue that it isn't though.

JinMi, go ahead and post where you are from and I will look up your local laws. I will even come back here and discuss with you your very likely misunderstanding of your local laws. But I digress, I don't know where you live.

What I do know, with 100% certainty, is that in the good ol' US of A, it is illegal to threaten and intimidate court staff.

He got off super easy with a gag order.

If that were the case there would be IDK, charges filed or something like that.

You know, threats and harassment being statutes and all...

See, you've swallowed your own propaganda and can't see the forest for the trees.

Keep trying though, you're providing a valuable service.

a reply to: JinMI

Quite the strawman.

Carry on.

To whom am I providing that valuable service? Where do you live?

Yes, trying to spin a statute as the reasoning for censorship is quite the strawman, innit.

Oh, doh, that's what you were trying to do!

People who want facts and truth. When you guys parrot out your MSM talking points, we get to push back against them.



If you don't already know where I live, thats hilarious BTW.

Charges filed?

Judges tend to be in charge of proceedings in their Court.


No, plainly, you don't know, indeed.

Treading water already?

But it's only the 2nd page!


See, if Trump were doing those illegal activities, as you suggest, then there would be prosecutors crawling out of the woodwork to make that stick.

a reply to: JinMI

What statute?

Did I mention one?

No, but you spun one.

Which one are you referring to?

a reply to: JinMI

Who said it was a crime?

Not the Judge.

They do have Court management powers.

Harassment....


You know, the statute you brought up on the previous page while you were justifying censorship....

a reply to: JinMI

No.

I brought up no such statute.

I meant "harassment" in it's ordinary and plain meaning.

But carry on.

Gag orders are issued when a person's comments may affect the integrity of the court. The comments may not necessarily enter into the criminal realm but if they threaten the outcome of the trial or the integrity of the court.

Putting a court clerk in the crosshairs of Trump's deranged followers certainly qualifies.

Harassment is a legal statute there Mr Lawyer....

a reply to: JinMI

It is also a simple word.

Right, because everyone knows MAL is only worth 18 million.

GTFO

a reply to: Threadbare

That is quite correct. There was no suggestion of criminality.

Judges have Court management powers.

As they should.
