I ask what kind of message does this send to others who may violate court orders?
But you better not be black or hispanic.

(62,444 posts)The initial gag order was subjective, to some extent, but it would have been appealed as overbroad if it was a complete gag, as he has now.
The appropriate response to him nibbling around the edges and saying he wasnt really violating it, is to then proceed to a complete gag. If the response was to lock him up, her would have instantly gone up on appeal.
With this, the court had first issued a measured order, he monkeyed around with it, and the court has proceeded to a broader order.
If he violates this one, there is no further measured response the court can have, and the picture on appeal does not look anywhere near as good for him.
We now return to your regular slander of Judge Amy Berman Jackson by people who are primarily interested in undermining respect for the rule of law.

Slanderous, indeed.

Or, they feel that revocation of bail is more likely to trigger a Trump pardon?
