This seems like a lot but I just want to make it clear, for those of you who may ever be clients, that you can ABSOLUTELY dare a judge to put you in jail for longer and most of them will totally do it.
the "what are you going to do, stab me?" of courtroom behavior
Judges feel obligated to prove they have the power to do something whenever that power is challenged.
Hers would have been a much better gambit pulled in a red state with a governor with good pardon powers.
But once they have, can you flip them off? Asking for a friend...
Perhaps the legal arguments of "what are you going to do? Sentence me to the maxium sentence allowable under the law" was a bad one to make loudly in public.
You can't put me in jail! I need a special mattress!
That was a ray of sunshine on an otherwise cloudy day. And itās a state charge a āpresidentā Trump canāt pardon, no?
And you *definitely* shouldnāt ātriple dog dareā them.
That story is so funny. The judge really is flummoxed about how totally unrepentant she is. These hardcore Trump people really feel empowered to act as he would because *he* gets away with it. But alas, that's now it works in court.
I was shocked when she got up to talk and immediately went into telling the judge she did nothing wrong. Starting with that crazy iPad episode.
