hey, everyone, it is 4:00 in new york. the question of when donald trump s rhetoric crosses the line was a subject of a bit of a lips as pivotal court hearing. prosecutors and attorneys met in front of a three-judge panel in the u.s. court of appeal for a d.c. circuit for oral arguments. the substance was the validity of a gag order imposed on the ex-president that limits what donald trump can say in public about prosecutors, witnesses, and court staff. the heart of arguments, how do you balance the first amendment rights of a defendant who was also a former president and front runner with the need to protect prosecutors, witnesses, and prevent the railing of the justice system? trump s attorney was grilled by the judges for more than an hour, judges pushed back, that they had no right to step in with a gag order. essentially what they are finding is we have a past pattern when the defendant speaks on this subject, threats follow. now he s making similar statements again
