A California superior court judge found that the court could not prevent a woman involved in a bitter divorce from blogging about her husband. To calm the waters, Marin County Superior Court Judge Beverly Wood ordered the woman to cease posting information online the judge felt was harassing. Judge Roy Chernus found the order a violation of the woman’s First Amendment rights. Law professor Eugene Volokh said about the case, “Some narrow categories of speech, such as libel and threats of criminal attack are constitutionally unprotected. But speech about our exes is covered by the First Amendment.” (Marin Independent Journal, August 17, 2020, by Gary Klien)

Absurd to refer to the underlying issue as “ Talking Trash” Judge Wood is in violation of Federal law. “ Calming the waters” by issuing a DVPO in this matter?
I highly doubt the FAC as a whole support your views.
