New York Court of Appeals Dismisses Donald Trump’s Request to Lift Gag Order
Breitbart ^ | 09/12/2024 | Bradley Jaye

New York’s highest court threw out former President Donald Trump’s request to lift his gag order in his business records case.

The New York Court of Appeals dismissed Trump’s appeal to lift the gag order that limits him from making public remarks against his prosecutors or their families.

Trump’s attorneys requested Judge Juan Merchan lift the order after his conviction, arguing the gag order limits his First Amendment rights and that lifting the order would be in the public’s interest before the presidential election.

Yet, the court’s ruling said that “no constitutional question is directly involved” in dismissing Trump’s appeal.

I am confused about the gag order as if Harris can use information from the cases to literally harm Trump’s chacactor, even in the debate calling him a felon, then why can’t he fight back? And why is the DOJ allowing it? That is not a balance of justice.

Election fraud lawfare.

Ballot/voter fraud is only one component of election fraud.

Trump can appeal now to SCOTUS, no?

Federal question jurisdiction.

How come no one is investigating these judges financial situations??? They are taking bribes like crazy for this loyalty to the Communist State. This should have been priority one many years back.

Let me guess. They would say that Merchan might lift the gag order at the sentencing, so the appeals court doesn’t want to get in Merchan’s way. If they said anything about it.

“The 1st Amendment isn’t a Constitutional question?”

Not anymore, not in the judicial system. Even the Supreme Court doesn’t adhere to the Constitution anymore. They compromise it and twist it into something it is not all the time.

Don’t ask questions you already know the answer to.

Call Congress.

<><>Clerk of the House has addresses/phones of House members and Committees.

Message: NY has multiple well-known bar associations — notably (A) the Association of the Bar of the City of New York (known as the City Bar), and, (B) the New York State Bar Association.

They must now be investigated after once being respected for their contributions to the betterment of the legal system and facilitating the sacrosanct rule of law.

All of which makes the political antics of “lawfare” being waged nearly incomprehensible and a necessary subject of investigation.

What Merchan is doing is using the gag order to prevent legitimate criticism of his own wrongdoing with regard to his daughter.

The judicial power is not to be used to protect himself from scrutiny, and is an abuse of such.

But not in Colombia, which of course is all that matters...to him.
