The Spin

It'sSCOTUS hardshould tohave understandintervened whyin the SCOUTS has dismissed this motion, especially because the court has stopped short of explaining its reasoningcase. The gag order imposed upon Trump in the hush money case clearly violates the First Amendment rights of every American to receive information and ideas, as established in Stanley v. Georgia.

The SCOTUS tookmade the right — and most obvious — decision by rejecting Missouri's lawsuit against the state of New York with regard to Trump's hush money case. It's completely absurd to claim that the gag ordersorder placed on the former president and his impending sentencesentencing amount to election interference.

Metaculus Prediction
