This reminds me of when Patton slapped the coward for being in the infirmary. Its a sad state when the military has to be politically correct.

I don't take shit from anyone, especially not from cocksuckers on a power-trip. I won't tolerate it. As long as people aren't abusing their power they wouldn't have to see the other side of me. And don't lecture me. I've had someone from the Marines try to do that to me once. Unfortunately, our mission was not under military command and he had to be chewed out by someone 20 years his junior...
LMAO!!!! My bet is you have mouthed off to a judge or police and had to pay for the mistake.
Wow, you're such a billy badass on the intarweb.
I have never had to stand in front of any judge but a family member and I almost go prosecuted for beating the snot out of someone that was stalking our cousin. Someone in the Dallas prosecutor office tried to use us to make a name for himself. Well, after our campaign the prosecutor "understood" all that was at stake and made the right choice to drop the charges. Why he never charged the stalker is beyond me.
Re-read the thread, idiot. A lot of people disagree with you but are too nice to call you an idiot. You are an idiot.
I have no idea what any extenuating circumstances, if any, existed, though. Maybe the judge knows her to be a piece of trash and was looking for an excuse to keep her away from us all for longer.
tbh, i believe i am
see romans 13 for pertinent info:
"Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished. For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you."
^^ Exactly.
Speaking (albeit sarcastically) is "exercising authority" over chambers of "government"? Seriously? What are we slaves? Oh wait I forgot.
Sadly, her lawyer will probably be able to use that information to reduce her contempt sentence to something much shorter. Bummer, because that lady seems like she could use a few months in the slammer to cool off.
I wonder how much jail time she'll for the assault. If she's convicted of assault, will the sentence begin after her sentence for contempt has been completed?

In the American Criminal Justice system, judges have a great deal of latitude. You and I are free to like or dislike that -- But our likes or dislikes don't change anything.

Yet, you did admit to being an arson on this forum. So who's the idiot??
Six or seven months ago, there was a contempt thread about another person that didn't know how to behave in a courtroom. While Penelope Soto was initially given a 30 day contempt sentence, a few days later the judge vacated it after she apologized.
My perception is that that is pretty conventional.

Once, I had the occasion to spend a morning in a criminal courtroom in Daytona Beach FL. And I was amazed at the amount of crap that the judge had to take. I was also amazed at the number of people that apparently lacked any concept concerning what constituted civil behavior.
Seriously, it was more outrageous than anything you'd ever see on TV -- people arguing with the judge about how much marijuana constitutes possession, people arguing with the judge about their identities, people dressed in dirty T-shirts with holes in them, people that couldn't keep quiet, people that couldn't stop moving...
When I was at the Military Police Academy, they told me that the vast majority of criminals were stupid and lazy. I don't remember whether I believed it when they told me that. But after spending some time in a criminal courtroom, I believed it.
And oh, no sympathy for violent offenders. If they can't control their violent urges, lock them up with their peers!

Wow! Some people actually believe that if you do not grovel in front of authority you deserve to be in a "cage". Do you not see how wrong it is to aggress against those who have not harmed you? Specifically speaking of the worded exchange between the funny robe man and the black lady, she did not physically attack him but he is forcibly controlling her life by throwing her in a cage for 300 days due to simply offending his ego. What grants this individual more rights than us? The same interaction amongst two neighbors is just an argument.
So being respectful to judges is now "groveling"?
Seems to me like you are just a typical liberal who thinks people should be able to do whatever they feel like. The woman in question probably was raised with such an attitude.
I guess you don't understand. It is not that the woman mouthed off. Stop looking at everything through the authoritarian mindset. Does the so called "judge" have the right to cage a person simply because his ego was injured? Do you have that right with your neighbor when they insult you? Why do you imagine this clown to have more rights than you or I?
contempt of court
n. there are essentially two types of contempt:
a) being rude, disrespectful to the judge or other attorneys or causing a disturbance in the courtroom, particularly after being warned by the judge;
b) willful failure to obey an order of the court. This latter can include failure to pay child support or alimony.
The court's power to punish for contempt (called "citing" one for contempt) includes fines and/or jail time (called "imposing sanctions").
Incarceration is generally just a threat and if imposed, usually brief. Since the judge has discretion to control the courtroom, contempt citations are generally not appealable unless the amount of fine or jail time is excessive. "Criminal contempt" involves contempt with the aim of obstruction of justice, such as threatening a judge or witness or disobeying an order to produce evidence.
Seeing you're not smart enough to figure out what "contempt of court" means I will post the definition for you.

But in this woman case the juge is the only one
who had power to appreciate if it was technicaly
a series of offenses , in short , the offended is
judge and party at the same time....
In such cases she must be trialed for thoses
contempts by an independant court with another judge.
Would had this resulted in 300 days penalty ?
I highly doubt it.
Again you miss it. I care not for politician scribble. They have no more rights than any of us. Why is this so hard to grasp?
EDIT: Actually I already know why. You haven't been taught any other way.
I have no clue why you can't grasp that the US is based on laws and until these laws are changed they will be applied as written.
"Laws" are not moral and are arbitrary allowing a select few to subjugate the masses. You know no different and can't think because you haven't been bred to think, you've been bred to do as you're told. Some will get it some will not.
