    One sentence decision… would it have killed them to have quoted the full sentence?

    Found the PDF linked here… ok, it’s TECHNICALLY one sentence…

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/appeals-court-reinstates-trump-gag-order-new-york-civil-tax-fraud-case-rcna127411

    "A petition having been filed with this Court on November 15, 2023, seeking to annul and vacate pursuant to CPLR 7803(2) and (3): (1) orders of the Supreme Court, New York County, entered on or about October 20, 2023 and on or about October 26, 2023 constituting summary findings of contempt against petitioner Donald J. Trump; (2) a “gag order” of the same court and justice entered on the record on or about October 03, 2023, and so-ordered on or about October 26, 2023, and a “supplemental limited gag order” of the same court and justice entered on or about November 03, 2023,

    And petitioners having moved to stay enforcement of the aforesaid gag order and supplemental limited gag order pending hearing and determination of the instant petition,

    Now, upon reading and filing the papers with respect to the motion, and due deliberation having been had thereon,

    It is ordered that the motion is denied; the interim relief granted by order of a Justice of this Court, dated November 16, 2023, is hereby vacated.

    ENTERED: November 30, 2023"

      I find the headline to be much more coherent. I get what you’re complaining about with articles not being informative towards their headlines statement, or headline statements not having anything to do with the articles therein, but this time I’m giving them a pass. Single sentences should not have a paragraph break, let alone the multiple breaks in this “sentence”

          I’m just gonna say it: it’s not a single sentence. It’s a series of malformed paragraphs each consisting of a sentence fragment.

          Or that’s what it is in English. I think legalese had different rules of grammar.
