An appeals court reinstates gag order that barred Trump from maligning court staff

Link

This one will be short, as we've already discussed in detail whether we think Trump should be allowed to speak this way, or not.

A New York appeals court Thursday reinstated a gag order that barred Donald Trump from commenting about court personnel after the former president repeatedly disparaged a law clerk in his New York civil fraud trial.

The one-sentence decision from a four-judge panel came two weeks after an individual appellate judge put the gag order on hold while the appeals process played out.

Trial judge Arthur Engoron, who imposed the restriction, said he now planned to enforce it “rigorously and vigorously.”

As soon the appeals court put a halt on the gag order, Trump immediately shot himself in the foot and started attacking the people that were not meant to be attacked. That likely didn't help him one little bit. After two weeks, the gag order has been re-instated, and now it has teeth.

Trump can now appeal to the Supreme Court, but there are many things that can happen at that point. The SC could take it up or not take it up and let the ruling stand. They could take it, but put it on the docket a long, long time from now. Or they could take it and expedite it, make sure they get their word in soon.

Personally, I have a feeling they will stay away from it. We'll see.

how much longer is the glory seeking judge and AG going to drag this out? I mean, the pinhead already ruled on this before he heard any arguments, so it seems as if this is all just PR ops for the DERP brigade.

You talking about Trump's defense team? LOL

ii'm guessing as long as they can and try to keep his troubles in the public eye and him going back and forth to court as much as they can.

the longer they keep it up, the less time he's got for campaign stumping.

The "same" Appeals Court(s) will be considering all the conflicts of interest and Judicial prejudice(s) soon enough. The irony is thick.

Wait, so you think they want to be there? I really don't think that's the case, but who knows what the people who tell you what to think have told you.

a reply to: network dude

If they didn't want to be there then they should rest their case. The prosecution finished calling witnesses weeks ago. It's the defense that has witnesses scheduled until the second week of December.

As I understand it, Trump does not have to be physically present, in the courtroom for this part of the trial.


He chose to be present. He chose to testify. He is, therefore, the one who is "dragging this out".


One would assume that Trump believes that there is some sort of benefit, to his interest(s) in doing so?

yeah, he does. it's called fighting for your rights and not being told to bend over without any KY.

For the Idiot Judges and NY AG.

Today's Fun: We shut Trump up! ha ha ha.

Long Term Reality: PAIN.

I wonder if times if all leftist cheerleaders have no idea that in the very near future this same litigation fever that they are all sick from could possibly be used in the same way against them as they are "setting precedence" at this time.

I will laugh and laugh and then laugh again when so many of your heroes are dragged to court and bancrupted. I do sense, especially with the Musk and Rumble lawsuits, that your team will also find itself in the "unwinable" legal issues due to the money that will be behind such litigation.

It's coming, I can feel it in my bones.

Personally, I have a feeling they will stay away from it. We'll see.

Using history for reference then, SCOTUS will likely take this up.

They don't care or can't stretch their own logic out that far.

Just enjoy the show.

They're setting the precedence of holding people accountable for breaking the law? The horror!

Well it seems that the witnesses are helping Trump. The bank actively sought out his business, despite being defrauded? And his inflation of his assets was typical of the richer people seeking loans! I'll let you stew on this and cry for sources. They will be incoming before you know it. The prosecutors may have painted themselves into a corner. It will look way worse if the Supreme Court has to strike down a guilty verdict after their persecution is complete. Personally I love seeing NYC shoot itself in the foot by trying to ban him from doing business there, how much tax revenue is it hemorrhaging these days? Scorched earth leaves nothing for anyone.

TIme will tell. Don't you worry.

PS. As of yet I fail to see any laws that were actually broken. Regardless of what the hired hand judges carefully selected seem to "believe".

Well said.

They are setting the precedent with Trump.

....yet it won't apply anywhere else.


Clowns.

The radical owner of Google (Sundar Pachi) has buried this. But thankfully, there are other search engines.

Screenshots obtained by investigative journalist Laura Loomer showed that Mrs. Engoron created, liked, and shared a number of anti-Trump posts, many of which were directly related to the trial.

One post included an AI-generated image of Trump bald in an orange prison jumpsuit next to one of an old lady scrawling "F*ck Trump" on a brick wall. Another was simply the latter.

In another series of posts, Mrs. Engoron took aim at Trump lawyer Alina Habba, retweeting someone who described her as someone who "doesn't know how to act in front of a judge," and replying to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) with a story about The View's Whoopi Goldberg mocking Habba as a "whiny baby."

THE SUPREME COURT NEEDS TO RISE TO THE OCCASSION (for once) and CANCEL THIS KANGAROO ELECTION INTERFERENCE TRIAL.

It's a civil case, there's no guilt or not guilty. There's liable or not liable. Also, it's a state case. SCOTUS isn't getting involved.

a reply to: dust2023

There's multiple indictments out there that list the 93 criminal statutes Trump is alleged to have violated.
