Not to mention that at the time of writing of the constitution, Judges in the English and French judicial systems of the time, the two systems most colonists were familiar with, were notoriously corrupt. Judges engaged in class and racial bias during judgement and sentencing, verdicts that had sent a good number of people to this New World on spurious or even blatantly false charges and testimony, all while enjoying the power to basically just drag into court anyone who wasn’t of the elite ruling class, and imprisoning, exiling, and/or outright murdering them. Judges operating without the public oversight offered by freedom of speech were systemically corrupt in other ways as well, with judges openly accepting bribes and showing bias in their rulings, which is now thought by some political scholars to be one of the many reasons the English colonists rebelled.
The right, therefore, to openly criticize a judge is not just lightly or trivially removed. We have, relatively speaking, a much less corrupt judiciary in a great part because someone claiming a judge is corrupt can’t just be hauled into court and sent to a far-away country, imprisoned indefinitely, or outright killed depending on the judges whim.
That said, there is a great deal of difference between being able to publish a fact-reinforced statement that says a judge is corrupt, and a 2:28am ketchup-hurling tirade that alleges such without any supporting evidence, and a screaming temper-tantrum demanding someone rid a would-be king of this turbulent judge. Gag him, lock him up, and cut off his access to anyone other than his lawyers and secret service praetorian babysitters. It’s the only way to be sure.
Don’t want your children involved, you demented orange turd? Should’ve thought of that years ago. But that would require having a moral compass and some sort of care and concern about the people you contributed 50 per cent of DNA to (shudder).
He also knows that cokehead and the yokel could do it by accident. In contrast, the only way Ivanka betrays her father is on purpose; she might even throw one of the idiot brothers under the bus as an indirect way of doing so.
Assuming Cohn was still plaguing the world, and assuming that Biff hadn’t thrown him under the bus for the unforgivable sin of having AIDS in the 1980s, he’d have either engineered the criminal organisation’s operations and unleashed a terror campaign on the justice system so that this didn’t end up in court in the first place (or at least ended up with a “friendly” judge).
Von Clownstick thinks he can bully and intimidate the court system like Cohn did, but doing that takes a level of malevolent competence that he and his lawyers just don’t possess.
So, if I’m understanding this correctly, he doesn’t know anything about fraud because it has to do with Trump Org, and that’s run by his son…. But don’t ask his son to take the stand, that’s harassment!
“Did he call it the web telescope? Isn’t it the Hubble? Is he thinking of web Hubble? I don’t understand!” the confused faux news host said, bursting into such a fit of laughter, she had to wipe away the tears.
