Donald Trump has NOT done well with the New York Legal system which has NOT taken any shit from him…..
And will continue to not take it from a convicted felon who is awaiting sentencing and has to watch his mouth….
Judge Juan Merchan , right now has the cards….
New York’s highest court on Tuesday dismissed Donald Trump’s appeal of the gag order imposed in his Manhattan criminal trial, dealing a setback to the former president’s efforts to strip the restrictions in the wake of his conviction.
In a decision list, the Court of Appeals wrote that Trump’s appeal was dismissed because “no substantial constitutional question is directly involved.”
The gag order, imposed by the judge who oversaw Trump’s criminal trial, Justice Juan Merchan, barred Trump from publicly attacking witnesses, court staff and prosecutors other than Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. During the trial, Merchan held Trump in criminal contempt twice for violating the gag order and fined him a total of $10,000….

Trump’s appeal of the gag order is just one of his many efforts to get the restrictions lifted. Earlier this month, Trump’s lawyers wrote to Merchan, asking him to end the gag order and saying that “because the trial has concluded, the stated bases for the gag order no longer exist.”
They also suggested he merited special consideration because of his presidential campaign…..
…
Bragg’s office, however, opposed lifting the gag order, writing that “the Court has an obligation to protect the integrity of these proceedings and the fair administration of justice at least through the sentencing hearing and the resolution of any post-trial motions.”….
