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?

As long as he doesn’t do it in the courtroom, it’s none of their business.
That judge is such a crybaby!
The whole purpose of the 1st Amendment is so that we can call government officials names.
Gaetz should be dropping Articles of Impeachment for this Judge so Jim Jordan can get his first scalp the first week he is Speaker.
Dear judge, I can read minds and I tell you he is thinking bad thoughts about you and that prosecutor!
Affirmative Action third-world African IQ Tanya Chutkanis a criminal thug!
Now Judge Tanya Chutkan openly gives aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.
That judge must be an ugly old hag
Judge Pig Vomit speaks!
As long as he doesn’t intimidate a potential witness, he can say anything he wants.
Fixed.
Its going to be overturned. Prior Restraint is almost never granted. This is yet more evidence of this judge’s obvious bias and abuse of authority. This order is subject to interlocutory appeal....ie immediately they don’t have to wait til the end of the trial.
Chutkan has now committed the very crime the Founders sought to prevent: she has imposed prior restraint on speech.
And not just anyone’s speech: the former President of the United States.
She and Smith have one thing in mind: to silence him so that he cannot fight them politically.
There is no pursuit of justice here. Only a relentless push to convict at all costs.
In all seriousness this foreigner should never have let near ANY court in the United States. She comes from a country steeped in British autocratic judicial ideas, the very ones my ancestors fought.
Where does the 1st Amendment stop & start?
She thinks she is king because she has a vagina and is black. We
Gag orders need to be limited by statute and made subject to a speedy appeal. Wake-up, legislators.
>> What exactly is the harm in calling Jack Smith a “thug”
It’s disrespectful to other thugs to associate them with this lowlife.
Fine. I think President Trump should give Judge Chutkan a nickname like Judge Chupacabra and Jack Smith the nickname Jack Smack and only use those names. Trump could also do tag team of insult where one person just savagely insults the both of them six ways to Sunday and Trump just say “Amen brother!”
But we can call her names and there are several I can think of.
