Michael Popok: 'STUNNED Donald Trump Makes DESPERATE Filing After GAG Reinstatement'

Source:Meidas Touch- in case it's not obvious enough (perhaps you just happen to be drunk, insane, or blind) left to right: NY State Judge Arthur Engeron & the one and thank God only, Donald J. Trump.

"Trump’s lawyers, cutting and pasting from their DC appeal filing, have filed an emergency petition to have NY’s highest appellate court remove the gag order to allow his lawyers and him to bash the judge’s imperiled law clerk some more. Michael Popok of Legal AF explains what goes wrong with the new filing and why it is likely to lose." 

From the Meidas Touch

If this New York State courtroom that's run by Judge Arthur Engeron, was one of Donald Trump's so-called reality TV shows, Mr. Trump would have freedom to say whatever the hell he wanted too. Not just about the Judge, but the Judge's law clerk as well. Mr. Trump could call the Judge a whore and his wife a whore, his clerk a crazy bitch and threaten to kick their asses when after the court session is over, etc, while court is in session. Wouldn't even have to wait for a press conference after court.

But Donald Trump no longer lives in reality TV world. At least physically, whether that's ever occurred to him mentally or not, only DJT could know that. And in the United States of America, more pacifically in Manhattan, New York, in New York State Court, in the real world, every individual right that we have in America, including the First Amendment, (my personal favorite individual right) is not absolute. 

Imagine if free speech was unlimited in America: 

How would people who hire killers to murder their spouse or someone else, be charged for conspiracy to commit murder? The defendant could just say: "I didn't personally murder my spouse. I just hired someone to do that for me. I have a First Amendment right to say whatever I want." 

Perjurers could never be charged for perjury because perjurers would have a 1st Amendment right to lie under oath. 

Inciting violence would then become legal in America because now we have a constitutional right to incite violence. Someone could give a speech and say: "You should go beat the hell out of Joe Wilson (or whoever the person is) because that would make me happy." And then someone would get go beat the hell out of Joe Wilson and say that Tom Davis (or whoever the person is) said that would make them happy. And then Tom Davis could just say: "Well, I didn't beat the hell out of Joe Wilson. I just said someone should go do that." 

Forget about truth in advertising with an unlimited First Amendment in America because now con people fraudsters, crooks, would no longer be required to have to back up what they claim their products can do. A car dealer could then claim that their cars are the most reliable and durable around. Even though they break down 5 minutes after their customers pull their new car out of the lot. The car dealership could just say: "We didn't force these people to buy our cars or even take us seriously."

If Donald Trump’s lawyers were honest, (and if rats flew over the moon) they would simply just argue: “Donald Trump has the constitutional right to say and do whatever he wants to do.” That would still be a garbage defense, but at least it would be honest.

As Michael Popok, who is a New York lawyer, said in his video, once you enter the courtroom as a defendant, your free speech rights become limited to the case and the evidence in that case. (Close paraphrase) You don't have the right to attack the Judge and the Judge's staff.
