Trump trying his best to go to jail.

For the umpteenth time, they are allowed to protect the integrity of the trial and ensure the defendant gets a fair and unbiased trial. Trump's remarks could make some potential jurors not like him for insulting a judge's daughter. That is why the courts have determined that sanctions against discussing certain aspects of a trial is constitutional. It is to protect the defendant, jurors, and witnesses in a trial. 

How does stopping Trump from insulting the Judge, jurors, potential witnesses, and their family members protect the prosecutions case? Trump can talk about the charges all he wants and make any claim about the charges he wishes. He just can't insult people. 

i think it demonstrates Trump's defense is weak since all he can do is attack people and not the merits of the case. If his defense was solid, why would he need to attack the individuals or bring their family into the discussion. He would simply attacks the prosecutor's evidence and demonstrate why it is false. But he can't. 

That is covered under federal court rules. The judge has to rule to allow it, not rule to stop it. The standard is for no broadcasting of trials, but the judge can decide to allow it in some cases. 


Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 53 provides: "Except as otherwise provided by a statute or these rules, the court must not permit the taking of photographs in the courtroom during judicial proceedings or the broadcasting of judicial proceedings from the courtroom."

Party's come and go. The fact these two have been around as long as they have is impressive honestly. Usually they get in power and in a generation or two they have lost touch with their base to the point they just die out. It's passed time for them to die. But when the two parties control all the money and the mouthpiece its hard for the upstarts or smaller parties to get a voice in the cacophony parade of partispartisanship that is politics today. I don't believe anybody can really say they feel represented today. And if they can I would be terrified of them

First off, photography is a constitutional right. It is part of your first amendment rights under freedom of the press. It is why paparazzi and assholes on the internet exist. 

Second, you made the comment about judges calling for a media blackout. Since the media reports the daily activities of every Trump case, I thought you meant they weren't allowing reporters with video equipment inside the courtroom. As far as I know reporters have not been banned from the courtroom. That kind of ban would likely not stand up under appeal, freedom of the press and such. 

Gag orders, as the courts have ruled many many times, are to protect the integrity of the trial. It is why judges rarely use them and they get appealed so often. To be sure the reason is not to control the narrative. Gag orders, as in the Trump case, have to be specific and have objective reasoning behind them, as they do in the Trump case. 

No judge is holding a defendant in contempt for publicly addressing their case is bullshit. Trump can say the case is bullshit all he wants. What he can not do is insult, demean, or threaten the judge, prosecutor, jurors, witnesses, court staff, or their families. That is the only thing he can not do. He can rant about the charges and the evidence all he wants. 

You do not seem to understand the limited scope of the gag order. If the judge had said Trump could not talk about the case at all, he would have violated Trump's rights and an appeals court would overturn it. But the judge did NOT do that. He simply ordered that Trump can NOT insult, demean, or threaten the judge, prosecutor, jurors, witnesses, court staff, or their families.

He said it helps him with the black vote too

Pretty self explanatory.
