The first amendment does not cover defamation and in the court of law there is very much a restriction to full unfettered 1st amendment rights. You cannot tell a judge to go gently caress themselves then one weird trick win the appeal on the contempt by claiming 1st amendment rights.

Anyway it doesn't matter, judge won't do poo poo or at best they'll give him like a $5k fine which is absolutely nothing to a multimillionaire like president trump.

I'm sure there is a very good reason why the judge isn't immediately throwing trump in jail for criminal contempt after accusing him of corruption for profit with his daughter.

the power to do contempt and sanctions stuff is basically made up by the court system as part of the "inherent power of the court", so there's not much in the way of laws or constitutional stuff that give the court a very clear guide on how to handle it and how far the "inherent power" extends (you have to read a lot of boring scotus decisions to figure this out)

because of this most judges approach sanctions/contempt with a lot of caution so they don't get a spanking by doing something that gets appealed and overturned, and most judges don't want to think of themselves as authoritarian even though they are

judges also tend to prefer deciding an issue on the merits as quickly as they can rather than dragging things out into lots of hearings. that eats up the judge's precious time that could be better spent Administering Justice or playing golf


all of this manifests as judges being much much softer on rich people when it comes to sanctions because they're more likely to be able to appeal something up even if the court didn't do anything wrong. if you're a normie poor the court knows they're taking less risk, so you get fewer chances than donald trump


so, it's not a good reason, but there's a reason

I was reminiscing about The Three Amigos and watched it again recently.
It is still a very good movie to me. I see rotten tomatoes gives it a %45 rating and I feel it's being treated very unfairly.

I've only ever seen Steve Martin movies when I (presidentially) decided to stay home from high school and watch comedy central all day. My wife had perfect attendance and doesn't know what the gently caress I'm talking about if I bring it up.

I think it's really funny in three amigos when the bad guy henchman goes to the bar and kills a guy and is like my friends are coming be on the look out, so the bar folk are all scared of what's next and then the three amigos show up and do their song and dance while the locals believe they are brutal murderers.
