This, to me, was at least as important as the #GagOrder.
The appeals court also says
👉🏼delaying the trial until after the election, as #Trump wants, would be "counterproductive"

Thr part that I don't understand is why, after what happened in the 1930's and 40's (#RachelMaddow Presents #Ultra / #AmericaFirst Party, #Nazis of #CopleySquare, etc.) the famous System of Checks and Balances was not beefed up to preempt such an event.
After that, you did not need to be a lawyer to be able to foresee something like #TFG happening. In fact, I would argue, it was always just a matter of time.
