Personal comment ... $65 million in punitive damages suggests that the jury had enough of 's antics in the courtroom.

@WordsmithFL It's a shame they couldn't assess him an ongoing fine for everything he's going to say now. Like, 65 mil punative and 5 mill per insulting tweet/speech going forward.

@TrueBloodNet I'd like to know if, under New York state law, the judge can issue an order to never to mention E. Jean Carroll ever again, otherwise he goes to jail for contempt of court. There's no way Trump could comply, so the judge could toss him in the pokey.

@smittycanada1 @WordsmithFL I'm not a lawyer, maybe Harry Litman will address it but it's my feeling that injunctions are usually just during trials.
