Are we talking current administration? Nothing respectful there...

I feel safer now that this guy is in jail for six months!

I think a $500 fine would have been sufficient....the judge could still feel tough and then we wouldn't have to waste a bunch of money housing someone over yawning.

Oh wait, there I go again with that common sense thing.

He won't spend 6 months in jail. He'll go before the judge in a week, plead guilty, pay that $500, and go home on time served.

he is out now, after three weeks.

By yawning he was obviuosly saying that he did not think his punishment was harsh or even meaningfull (whatever it may have been)
If I was the judge, and he was dissin' me in public like that while I was in office??? I would do the same.
He won't be yawning in court next time... Heck, he won't even yawn in the post office.

I agree. He expressed his opinion. He paid the price.

That you don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off an 'ole Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim (or the Judge)

Or Slim after he kicked old Jim's azz.

Love that song.
