The Spin

SCOTUS should have intervened in this case. The gag order imposed upon Trump clearly violates the First Amendment rights of every American to receive information and ideas, as established in Stanley v. Georgia.

SCOTUS made the right — and obvious — decision by rejecting Missouri's lawsuit. It's completely absurd to claim that the gag order placed on the former president and his impending sentencing amount to election interference.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 1% chance that before November 5th, 2024, Donald Trump will successfully appeal any felony conviction in the "hush money" case, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
