What the hell is with these shitty judges not doing their jobs? They've been warned. The next step is not to warn them again, it's to file sanctions.
Judges will often bend over backwards to limit the possibility of a successful appeal. They don’t like having an appeals court overturn a verdict since it means they would then have to retry the entire case again.
By giving the defense multiple warnings they’re effectively preventing them from using this instance as a credible argument in an appeal. In an appeal the defense might say something like “the judge unfairly ruled against me regarding X”. But the appellate court will see in the transcript that the judge issued multiple warnings before ruling on X and use that to reject the claim.
I like your rationale here. It's a good reason and it makes sense. Thanks for that
I don't like the part that it's taken the justice system 30 years to start dealing with this clown. If it were anyone else....
Do you mean shitty lawyers?
There's a slate of judges who are refusing to do their jobs. There shouldn't be another discussion about it, the lawyers were warned, and this step should be to file sanctions and report them to the bar.
A Colorado judge issued an order disallowing Trump from intimidating witnesses or officers of the court - something that is ALREADY illegal. There so terrified of putting him in jail for contempt.

Chicken shit judges.
Did you ever think that if different judges with different political ideologies are all doing the same thing, it's because they're all acting professional and not giving Trump room to scream from the rooftops that it's political persecution? They have to take progressive enforcement.
He's being treated with baby gloves because if they actually do punish him for being a fucking moron his base will go nuclear and probably kill people
Ok sure random person on the Internet. I'm sure you're right and this Berkley Law grad is an idiot.

I would think it is more about not wanting the same rules applied to other rich people. Can't have precedent set for the rich and connected actually being punished for anything, otherwise they might go after other corrupt people, too!
How would a lawyers issue sanctions? You don't even have to read the article to know that, it's right there in the title!
Are you high? FFS.
Neither you nor anyone else downvoting has provided any backup for their impulses... Fuck both your and my emotions, provide facts! Judges issue sanctions, neither sides' lawyers can! If you still disagree, what have I gotten wrong?
Simmer, kiddo. Breathe.
