Limits of Speech
Donald Trump is trying to keep a gag order from being reimposed on him for lambasting a trial judge and his clerk. Trump is pleading his first amendment right to criticize what is happening in the courtroom. Trump's position is that he never directly threatened the judge and clerk and the dozens of troubling phone calls they get everyday cannot be attributed to him. He forgets apparently that inciting violence is a crime. The appeals court will decide what can be done, but the disgraceful manner of Trump with his motor mouth is trying. One wants him just to shut up and let his trial proceed, but that is not Trump's way and apparently never has been.
