On Friday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit Court upheld a narrowed version of District Judge Tanya Chutkan's gag order curtailing Donald Trump's ability to lie, threaten, and coerce potential prosecution witnesses and public officials involved in the D.C. 2020 election interference prosecution.
While the Supreme Court is normally averse to getting involved in political matters, the Trump appeal should be viewed by at least some, if not all of the justices, not only as a mandate to preserve the rule of law, but as a gift-a vehicle to counter the court's damaged image as a political body and to reclaim at least some of the crucial public support it has lost over recent decades.
