“Judge Merchan held a hearing this morning in which prosecutors argued that Trump is in violation of his gag order due to several of his Truth Social posts. Merchan did not yet rule on the issue.”

From Harry Litman

I’m willing to bet this is not a great reference, I doubt it’s even a good reference, but when I’m watching courtroom dramas, which at times can seem more like courtroom soap operas and even courtroom comedies, you see out-of-control defendants all the time. And the judge will say something like: “Mr. Jones (or whatever the name of the lawyer is) please get your client under control, or I’ll hold him in contempt. And if these outbursts continue, I’ll hold you in contempt as well.”

Now, other than falling asleep in court and perhaps badly in need of some under armour, perhaps even taking a shower before showing up in court, perhaps even issues with flatulence, (and that’s as nice as I’ll be about this) Donald Trump hasn’t yet been in violation of Judge Juan Merchan’s rules in court yet. It’s outside the court where Defendant Don has been in clear violation of the Judge’s gag order.

But I’m wondering if Defendant Don keeps violating the gag order, could the Judge take that out on his lawyer and do that first, before he holds the defendant in contempt and throws him in a holding tank.
