Gagged: Judge Issues Order in Nancy Mace Case
Will Folks ·
Retired S.C. circuit court judge Donald B. Hocker issued a gag order prohibiting Mace and other parties to the Berg-Bryant civil litigation from making any public statements about the cases, barring speech across all platforms including social media.
The order banned "oral, written, social media, text or any other form of communication" about the cases and was set to expire December 17, with possible extension; Hocker signaled openness to First Amendment arguments.
