Frankly, our Constitution is far more important than jail ... Ill do that choice any day," Trump said.

Looks like we may find out if the judge means what he says.

(3,486 posts)He'll spend the week talking about how he's not allowed to talk. He'll bump that non-point up over and over again, as much as he can. He can still rage, satisifying his flock, but his rages will implicitly lack a target, a direction, or a speed. Firing blanks (I bet I'm not the first to say that about him though).
