Eric Leland@GottaLaff What typically happens with less powerful defendants who repeatedly violate gag orders? Are they just endlessly fined?
Spocko@eleland @GottaLaff
Multiple types of sanctions are possible revoking bail, pretrial detention, I did a piece where I talked to 3 experts about what is possible & the steps that have to be taken before #LockHimUp

@eleland Fined, there can be restrictions in the courtroom too, that would hinder their case, but you’d have to ask a lawyer… and eventually jail. https://mastodon.online/@spocko/111423055458313702

Paul Lalonde@GottaLaff he is demonstrating very well how he will use his speech. We can hope that makes the case for the order.
Allan Chow@GottaLaff whoops. Gotta pay the lawyers again.
Ivey Janette McClelland@GottaLaff And the media and paparazzi will be at that courthouse once again.

Second hand from NYT: It appears the judge is implying it's the clerk's fault for putting up the Instagram pic, hence making it ripe for response from Trump. Therefore a gag order was not warranted.(IOW, it's her fault for dressing that way.)

B Thuronyi@GottaLaff After all, what good is not being legally prevented from doing something if you don't immediately do it?
Yeah. He's doing it because he can. Women, others, shooting comes next. He's a Star.
RodneyPetersonTalentAgencyAny other country would have executed that son of a bitch long ago.
Top to bottom crooked justice system, shithole country.
LexiGirl@GottaLaff the way he latches on to someone and just endlessly attacks them- it makes me feels physically ill. Can you imagine how scared Ruby Freeman was?? The PRESIDENT of the United States and his lackies were after her. And now this poor law clerk….
@LexiGirl Exactly. That’s why 1A seems less of an argument than it ordinarily would be. He’s endangering lives.
janamg@GottaLaff thank you for not giving oxygen to what he said
@janamg YVW. I rarely do that, unless I need his words to make a point, or to alert people to something.
I think I’ve done it twice.
T.Wllmseveryone but the idiot judge knew that was going to happen... and maybe he knew also, but just doesn't care...
@tdwllms1 He knew. It was more delay, more propaganda for his vile base
Ponygirl@GottaLaff Too bad these chickenshit judges won't stand up to trump. Judges are trash.
