    Must be nice to be able to have a tantrum in court, yell at the judge, and then just be able to walk out.

    I encourage everyone to try it sometime.

        He might be one of half a dozen people who could get away with that in a US federal court.

        I wonder if Elon could get away with it.

        The judge is trying to prevent any pretext to getting the case thrown out on appeals. It’s bullshit but having all this hard work go up in smoke because a brainless judge higher up found a tiny fault in an unprecedented case would be horrid.

          Jokes on us: like police do all the time, if a judge wants to “find” such a fault - maybe by citing precedence from a thousand years ago? - then they will. Ofc there is no reason to make it easy on them.
