GOP in battleground states rip Trump trial judge's 'dangerous' ruling
A rare coalition of Republican Senate candidates running in crucial swing states issued a joint statement slamming Judge Juan Merchant's gag order against former President Donald Trump.
This was interesting. I never liked the idea of gag orders but particularly when given to a person running for president. Everything that happens in this country is the business of a president, obviously. I'd think that him being under some bogus indictment would fall into that category (bogus or not).
Then again, I have also wondered if SOME gag orders (not in Trump's case but certain others) are just part of the judicial system. I guess someone saying "the wrong thing" could affect the outcome of the trial, but hey... that's life.
I don't know. I've never examined the issue thoroughly. But again, when a person is likely to become president, I think it is ridiculous and un-Constitutional, AND that it is likely same all the time, no matter the circumstances, a violation of the First Amendment.
