“gag order” not bizarre?

nubie. well that’s an opinion really, so i’ll give my two cents: at a minimum any “gag order” in our nation is bizarre. you sound like a lawyer, maybe you should just re-read the 1st Amendment.

just coming here and citing yet another corrupt group of “consensus” based, failed professional experts, you got a long way to go in order to understand why our nation is in the fix is in and why the fix is going in from our ruling elites, like the ones you cite.

anonymously attacking a regular patriot like Lin Wood ad hominem, who walks his talk fearlessly, will get nothing but suspicion about your true motives from me.

I am a lawyer, and the First Amendment is not absolute. Speech that is defamatory, or solicits a crime is not protected. Similarly, leaking trade secrets or state secrets is not protected. Speech that incites violence is not protected. Speech that prejudices active judicial proceedings is not protected. And there are lots of other exceptions.

Most people think legal ethics rules are too lax. I guess you feel they are not lax enough, and lawyers should be given unfettered discretion to do and say whatever they want.

Thank you for your opinion. Neither the American Bar Association, nor any of the State Bar Associations or this particular court agree with you.
