The headline is incorrect. The Judge said that der Gropenfurher would have to agree to follow the law and he refused to even respond after three extensions.
Nothing was rescinded.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
They asked for 3 extensions and were granted them. They asked for a 4th and it was denied. Now Trump's claiming that it's so totally unfair.
He's like a spoiled toddler. If anything isn't 100% of what he wants in that moment, he'll cry about how unfair everyone is acting towards him. If only we could put him down for timeout and a nap like we might with a toddler. Perhaps he needs a diaper change? (Not it!)
Was going to say... There's no way the judge could be so stupid as to give him a position that can cause a mistrial. That is the most obvious setup ever.
We all knew he was going to use the time to ramble incoherently about unrelated stuff so I suppose it's fine he's not being allowed to do that but at the same time I really wanted to see him shoot himself in the foot under oath.
It's better than that. If he was allowed to ramble incoherently, the judge may have been forced to declare a mistrial, or any judgement could have been overturned on appeal, citing bias.
That his lawyers agreed that he wouldn't follow decorum is the surprising thing, to me, and we should all be glad he's not allowed to make any statements.
His lawyers probably don’t want to work for him any longer than necessary. If they were smart they got paid in advance for this trial.
In 5 years I wouldn't be surprised to read about these current set of lawyers suing him for payment and him saying something like "they wanted a lot of money for being a bunch of losers. Why should I pay?" assuming he's still alive and hasn't died due to old age and cheese burgers by then.
A Trump never pays their debts
The Trumps are kinda like the Lanisters tho
He has such a backlog of previous foot shots, they can't hold him to answer for them all. Someone has to make him answer for anything, then we can watch him dance.
He never gave permission in the first place, so it wasn't rescinded. Trump asked for an exception to the rules. Judge agreed contingent upon Trump following the same sort of rules a lawyer would have to follow while they present closing arguments. Trump refused to agree to the terms. Permission was never granted.
