When you prosecute a political candidate, then criticism of the prosecution becomes protected political speech. Trump should violate the gag order, then sue the judge for civil rights violations to get the matter in front of a federal judge.

All Trump really has to do is post the Declaration of Independence..

We’ll get the hint

We learned in December 2020 not to look at SCOTUS for justice. John Roberts is a sniveling, cowardly quisling.

Is there a fine for defining the actions of a contemptable Black prosecutor and court?

The court must prove it is not contemptable

If Biden can get “80 million” votes from his basement, then Trump can get 90 from his.

Maybe while they're at it they'll decree that he can't leave NY State while the trial is in progress.
If he can't make appearances, and can't speak, this trial could last a year and a half, and it won't matter who wins...

If Don Jr talks in his place is that a violation?

Those words mattered when we were united but now it’s the DSA not the USA. Divided States of Amerika.

It’ll be interesting how a presidential candidate can be legally gagged. I can’t imagine this could hold up, and I doubt Trump would be capable of gagging himself (or should he)...

You don’t get the rationale? They are railroading Trump and that is just part of it.

A rally venu with wall to wall very large TV screens streaming the Trump speech made from Mar al Lago will do nicely too. There can be all kinds of denouncing the corrupt and seditious left on big screen tv

Punishment in New York for criminal contempt could be a $1,000 fine or 30 days in jail.

The first is peanuts for a man like Trump.

The second will never happen. The Secret Service will never allow Trump to be imprisoned -- in this or any of the other corrupt political persecutions on the horizon...

“Former President Donald Trump can’t seem to stop talking about his indictment.”

It’s kind of a big deal.

He can afford quite a few such fines. Reminds me of the old story about Abraham Lincoln being fined $5 for contempt of court. Abe handed the judge a $10 bill and turned away. The judge said, "What about your change?" and Abe said, "That's all right; I'll take it out in contempt."

That would be kind of funny if Don Jr held rallies for his father. And would infuriate the leftards.

Col Slade says take a flame thrower to the place. LOL. Watch the clip for one of the best scenes in memory.

So Joy Reid, Joe Scar, Rachel Maddow, and all the other talentless hacks who have convicted him dozens of times in the media along with Adam Schiff, Nadler, and Mad Maxine can talk endlessly about it but he is not allowed to say anything in response until he “has a chance to prove his innocence” (Pelosi)?

Sounds pretty fair to me.......

The affect will be to silence the top Presidential candidate. Stalin and Hitler are laughing from hell.

Will the judge pay him $130,000 to keep his mouth shut?
