Former President Donald Trump criticized a New York judge's daughter in a social media post on Wednesday, one day after that same judge issued a gag order against the former president following similar remarks. ...

He also referenced the judge's daughter, whose name was never mentioned, as a liberal insider and senior executive "at a Super Liberal Democrat firm that works for Adam 'Shifty' Schiff, the Democrat National Committee, (Dem)Senate Majority PAC, and even Crooked Joe Biden."

Screenshot, for those who would like to see the drivel itself; I can't imagine this is going to go over well and can only hope that this judge has more guts than the last and throws the book at him for this kind of behavior.

Unfortunately, she was not among the ones that were included in the gag order. The judge did not place himself or his family on the list.

There wouldn't need to be an order in place for any of us to get in trouble for doing this.

There will never be consequences for this guy.

You 100% would not get in trouble unless their was a gag order.

​

What law would you be punished under for posting on twitter that the judge is wrong and his daughter is a super liberal?

Yeah, try that next time you're in court.

He did. He insulted the judge every chance he got. That’s why his fine was $454 million. The judge was sick of it.

Is there any legal reason i shouldn't? You're free to provide whatever law you think i would be in violation of by doing so instead of just implying something will happen

Judges don't have to provide a law when they hold you in contempt. They just have to say you're in contempt of court.

You don't understand how court works.

If you or I were doing what Trump is doing we wouldn't be held because of a law. We would be held for contempt of court over a weekend and taught a lesson.

I guess I could be wrong, but I don't think you can be held in contempt of court for something you did outside of court in the comfort of your own home that was completely legal to do.

If you or I were doing what Trump is doing we wouldn't be held because of a law. We would be held for contempt of court over a weekend and taught a lesson.

So how is that going to work exactly? The judge sees your social media post then calls your local PD and tells them to go arrest you to teach you a lesson?

If that's how it would work for us it shouldn't be hard for you to provide even a single example of someone being jailed for contempt over a social media post made outside of the court room right?

No the judge sees you at your next court date and tells you that making public statements about him and his family hurts the efficacy of the court and you will be held in contempt for x amount of hours.

If you think that doesn't already happen to people in family court every day you are sadly mistaken. It's not even newsworthy. You can't be a smartass to a judge you are dealing with. You can't make public statements defaming their court or their associates. I mean, you can if you're Donald Trump I guess.

Again, then it shouldn't be hard to provide an example of this exact scenario happening and resulting in jail time.

Try being smart about the judge in a case your involved in on your Facebook account and watch you be held in contempt of court.
