DENVER (AP) — The Colorado judge overseeing the first significant lawsuit to bar former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 presidential ballot on Friday issued a protective order prohibiting threats and intimidation in the case, saying the safety of those involved — including herself and her staff — was necessary as the groundbreaking litigation moves forward.
“I 100% understand everybody’s concerns for the parties, the lawyers, and frankly myself and my staff based on what we’ve seen in other cases,” District Judge Sarah B. Wallace said as she agreed to the protective order.
The order prohibits parties in the case from making threatening or intimidating statements. Scott Gessler, a former Colorado secretary of state representing Trump in the case, opposed it. He said a protective order was unnecessary because threats and intimidation already are prohibited by law.
Party of "law and order" will think of this is a political move rather then a criminal actually facing penalties for commiting numerous serious crimes he's been indicted with in court.
Law and order for thee but not for me. Just look at what the GOP is doing with the electoral maps in Ohio and the SC justice in WI. They don't believe in law and order they believe everyone should obey them abd be ruled by them anything else is seen as illegitimate to them.
