This could end up being the wisest thing. Stone might want to drama-queen (king?) about the absurd situation he was put into, but if he can quietly win the case in court, the judge might have done him a favor. THEN he can rant as much as he chooses about what a kangaroo situation he (and the judge) had been put into. But there is a time for everything.
This isn't really about the wisdom of running one's mouth while in a court proceeding, but rather whether the judge has overstepped her bounds -- and Constitutional rights -- to issue this over-reaching gag order.
The Constitutionality of this ruling seems highly questionable -- and should be subject to immediate overrule by a judge on either side of the political spectrum.
