I think we can all agree "because the law says" is a terrible argument for why something is right.Because the law says , its contempt of court. There is no contempt of Walmart. when you say fuck you to a cashier, It means fuck you to the cashier.
When you say fuck you to the judge, you say fuck you to the law, to the country, and to the people of the United States . ( thats why they say the people vs) The judge represents the people. The cashier doesn't. You are not in contempt of the judge. You are in contempt of the law. People cant seem to distinguish the difference.
Outside of the court , you can say fuck you to a judge because he is just a an ordinary citizen. He cant hold you in contempt. Inside the court , He represents the the laws of the country and the people. The judge has legal authority over everyone in that courtroom , cops lawyers, witness'es defendants , complainants, everyone, So that does make the judge "special" in a round about way, due to the fact that nobody else in the courtroom can issue , fines sentencing, legal orders.
"the law says" all sorts of stuff that is widely agreed to be ethically, morally, and logically wrong.
