I don't like Trump, but gag orders shouldn't be a thing either.
I have to disagree, especially in this case.
Forget the fact that his public statements can cause real damage to the targets of his accusations.
The gag order is called for if only to ensure he receives a fair trial with an outcome determined by an untainted jury. Whether he is trying to or not, every public statement potentially removes jurors from the pool by having them create a predetermined opinion on the defendant and the case.
This is literally a case where the judge needs to “protect the defendant from himself” as well as protect the proceedings from a mistrial or future appeals.
Help me understand your perspective.
My perspective is, when Trump tweets/truthsocials anyone's name in a court case about him, said person and person's family receive death threats, bomb threats and other forms of intimidation.
So for this I see gag orders as important when used for good.
Providing two sources for sauce. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/judge-engoron-staff-death-threats-antisemitic-attacks-1234894395/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/01/11/bomb-threat-judge-ny-fraud-trial/
Sure just let Trump commit stoic terrorism in hopes everyone is scared to cross him rather than gag him because he ALWAYS does it. That seems like a great way to make sure justice is done.
This is a semantic objection which completely ignores context and scope.
The 'gag order' bars Trump from using his platform to intimidate witnesses and employees of the court.
