Trump’s Getting Special Treatment

Slate  

The First Amendment doesn’t have special caveats and carve-outs for the rich and famous or for putative presidential contenders. As former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney put it in her opening statement of the Jan. 6 House Select Committee, it was clear that with his words, Donald Trump had “summoned the mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack.” Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives for “incitement of insurrection.” And while the Jan. 6 committee ultimately found that there was sufficient evidence to charge the former president with “assisting, aiding or comforting” the insurrection, in the end neither special counsel Jack Smith nor Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis charged him with so doing. Rep. Matt Gaetz, campaigning last weekend with Trump in Iowa, calmly told the collected attendees, “Only through force do we make any change.” That statement happened just days after a Utah man who had threatened to kill President Joe Biden and repeatedly baited federal officers was killed in a standoff with FBI special agents. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said last year that joining the draft opinion in Dobbs itself made the signatories the “targets of assassination,” and Sen. John Cornyn has argued that imposing new ethics rules on Supreme Court justices will make them so vulnerable to violent, crazy attackers that the justices should be allowed to carry guns, regardless of local restrictions, in order to protect themselves. Chutkan has already warned defendant Trump to avoid making “inflammatory remarks” that “could taint the jury pool or intimidate potential witnesses.” He responded by attacking her.
