I'm asking.
This sounds like more heavy handedness on the part of the bias , Trump-hating judge:
Judge chastises Trump team for challenging his decisions, tells former president to sit back down
Judge Juan Merchan slammed former President Trump's defense attorneys Friday for challenging each of his decisions during the first week of the historic criminal trial.
Merchan chastised Trump attorneys for filing pre-motion letters to challenge his rulings, and firmly stated that the trial would begin Monday with opening arguments.
Merchan said Trump's lawyers cannot continue to submit pre-motion letters for the court to reconsider every decision.
“The defense is literally targeting every singe decision…There comes a point where you have to accept my rulings. The court’s decision is clear," Merchan said. “We’re going to have opening statements on Monday morning. This trial is starting.”
Trump attorney Susan Necheles asked prosecutors to give the names of the witnesses they expect to call next week.
Merchan fired back saying: "Whether you get the name or not, you're not going to delay the trial."
Bragg's office said unless they are ordered to, they will not share witness names with Trump's defense. Prosecutors said they would agree to release one name to defense counsel Sunday night. They also warned that if Trump tweets or posts on social media about the name of the witness, they will not share the information with them for the remainder of the trial.
Before Merchan left the bench, former President Trump attempted to stand up.
"Sir, can you please have a seat?" Merchan said to the former president.
Trump sat back down.

public confidence in the legal system as they have done to trust in the CDC and FBI and IRS.
Best Trump can possibly hope for is a hung jury.
It is no different than having a jury of the liberal Trump hating posters here on the jury.
They are SO biased that they don't see their thinking as unfair. They cannot see facts clearly wrt Trump either.
And look at the judge explaining the rules to them!
This ridiculously unfair travesty won't just backfire on Dems, it will also ruin the faith that conservative America has in our justice system...to be added to the lack of trust that other communities already have in it. This will disastrous in that sense and also in the precedent that they are setting.
The funny thing is that they think they have no choice in the matter because Trump made them have to be unfair.

The ends do not justify these means, but people can convince themselves of a lot of bullshit.
I’m nervous about this next election. Biden can’t win again. If he does, it truly is the illusion of democracy. Civil war is the only way out.
