      That's what confused me about the ruling. Are they saying that it's against the rules of decorum to say that someone is currently on trial in court?
      And then there's the whole farce around a presumptive nominee being treated as an official nominee, and official nominees being treated as successful. But then they need to decide if saying "The guy they want to be President is on trial" is more offensive or more of a personal attack than the incessant speculation about the actual President's mental acuity. Or how about the actual accusation from MTG that he "ordered the assassination" of the ex-President? It sounds pretty accusatory to me (one of the things the ruling said was not permitted.)

    He wasn't commenting on personality. He was stating facts about a defendant in a criminal case. Not opinions about if it was a shame or not, or opinions about the judge. If they are going to be striking mentioning of Trump and his trial than it should be disallowed from both sides, not just the opposing side only.

      Not even mutual censorship for both parties is acceptable. That is dictatorship. Even banning republicans from calling Trump's trial a sham is dictatorship. We cannot have censorship of political opinions in the house. But this pop up clown presiding here, who desperately needs a remedial reading class before we address anything intellectual, has gone beyond SNL material here!
