In reply to the discussion: I have a suggestion for Judge Merchan: [View all]OldBaldy1701E
(5,242 posts)34. Yeah, I have to agree with this.
Let the orange gibbon be the one to devolve the trial into chaos. Maybe then we might take the threat he and his backers represent with a little more seriousness. It seems like there has been a drop in the vitriol that his presence in this country represents and it does none of us any good to allow that to happen. I sincerely hope that he finally does push the judge to put his ass in a holding cell. Then, as suggested above, they can control his ass by sticking him in a room where he can run around hooting all he wants. It is this level of precaution that is what is needed. Hell, this is where the dialogue about his presence in the courtroom should start!

I am thinking at this point the Judge just thinks Trump is a spoiled, selfish brat. IMHO

The maximum penalty for violating the gag order is $1000 per violation, 30 days in jail, or both

I think it would be better if it were a daily warning in front of the jury. First time he does it, off to the side room

Oh, I'm just imagining scenarios. I'm no lawyer. Just having a bit of fun. I don't want anyone to take me seriously.

I want the jury to see his petulant behavior and reprimand/punishment each day, and see him in the room sitting/sleeping
