""Do you solemnly swear or affirm that you will try the case of The People of the State of New York against Donald J. Trump in a fair and impartial manner and, to the best of your ability, render a true verdict according to the law and evidence? Do you swear or affirm?"
They do.

"$5000 ISNT ENOUGH TO MAKE TRUMP STOP"
sadly that is the law.
By law that is $1000 per offense. 5 offenses. If the Judge fined Trump more it would be overturned on appeal for violation of the law, and he would be fined NOTHING.
But, issuing a fine is a pretty good warning that the next time he does it, it means jail
And after Trump was fined he stopped attacking the clerk.. so in a way it worked.
WHY ISN"T TRUMP BEING PUNISHED FOR VIOLATING GAG ORDER?
well he is, and will. $1000 a violation
THAT ISN"T ENOUGH! IT IS LIKE POCKET CHANGE
well, NY law says $1000 fine or jail. That's it. Please cite an example where a person was jailed for contempt of violating a gag order during a trial and we can see if it fits
Asserting a right to *not* hear protest is the opposite of free speech

Kinda big news in the people who know Lawyering stuff.
because of Trumps violations of the gag order, His defense team will not get the courtesy of knowing the order of the witnesses prosecution is bringing to Trial
A good cross-examination functions as testimony by the defense counsel, interspersed with questions like, "isn't that true?"
Defense counsel must have documents/transcripts ready to control witness if they quibble on any point.
Lots of work

Mango Markets Exploiter Avi "Code is law" Eisenberg Found Guilty of Fraud and Manipulation
Eisenberg faces up to 20 years in prison for his $110 million heist.
State Rep Austin Smith all but admits he forged signatures committing fraud and withdraws from AZ House race in disgrace.
This same person thought the 2020 election was stolen, and spread misinformation about voter fraud. because he thinks lying is a perfectly legitimate way to win elections
this could also have ramifications for the GOP blocking a repeal of the 1864 abortion ban
“I guess their reasoning is they want Russia to win so badly that they want to oust the speaker over it, I mean that's a strange position to take. And, you know, I think it's, I think they want to be in the minority too, I think that's an obvious reality. I'm still trying to process all the bullsh*t and stuff” Dan Crenshaw (R-TX2)
OMG. She actually did it. margie three names actually added an amendment to the Israeli defense funding bill.. and..wow.. just.. wow. Everyone is now Stupider
