Re: “Decide threatens as well Trump from courtroom over speaking” [Jan. 18, A1]:
Let’s be clear about it, former President Donald Trump is making a mockery of the nation’s judicial system and that presents an unimaginable hazard for the nation’s future.
I can really feel nothing however sympathy for the judges, prosecutors and jurors who’ve been thrown into the center of Trump’s shakedown operation. He has created an environment wherein all these individuals are justified in believing that they and their households are in credible hazard of being bodily attacked by his MAGA acolytes.
That being mentioned, the time has come for the judges to cease being so involved about doing one thing that might end result within the case being overturned on enchantment. It could be regrettable if that occurred, however permitting Trump to proceed to publicly mock and denigrate the judicial system is an excellent better hazard.
All of us discovered in grade college that the one technique to curtail a bully is for somebody to name their bluff. Our judicial system should step as much as that problem. Till the courtroom holds him accountable for his corrosive antics, it’s tough to be optimistic concerning the probabilities of persevering with to be a nation topic to the rule of legislation.
