Trump Proposes Making It a Crime to Criticize Pro-Trump Judges
Briefly

"I really think it's illegal what they do, with judges and justices. They're playing the ref." Trump insists public criticism of judges who favor him should be illegal.
"Remember the term. Playing the ref with our judges and justices should be punishable by very serious fines and beyond that." Trump's expressed desire for severe penalties against critics shows a stark contradiction.
"The New York court system is totally corrupt," Trump criticized judges ruling against him, while advocating for laws against public criticism of those ruling in his favor.
A law against criticizing judges would ignore the Constitution. Even a compliant Supreme Court is unlikely to affirm such a blatantly unconstitutional proposal.
