The DC Circuit will see expedited briefing, and a speedy oral argument on USDC Judge Chutkan’s gag order against Tangerine — after Abigail Jo Shyr threatened to kill the judge — when urged on by Tangerine via his social media postings.

That argument will be on November 20, 2023.

Expect a ruling within a day or two after that.

No matter what office a candidate claims to be running for, he may not lawfully threaten witnesses after he’s been indicted for felonies (as here, in four separate court rooms).

That is crystal clear, under more than a century of black letter law. His right to speak must yield to the criminal process rights of the public.

The end.
