I have some advice for the judge in the Carroll case. Expel him from court now. Do it unapologetically and state your reasons clearly. He has violated your orders and NO OTHER DEFENDENT would get away with this. Someone needs to stand up to him, and with your reputation as a "strict" judge, it should be you.

When I taught middle school I had many students like Cheato. They talked back, tried to bait me with smart ass remarks and claimed the rules didn't apply to them. If I let it stand, they would ruin the classroom environment for all the other students. So to ensure the educational integrity of my classroom, I had to stand up to them. I was 23 years old, but I figured it out.

They are bullies and the only way to defeat them is to stand up to them,and don't back down.

"Son, you gotta get your bluff in or they will run right over you"

Most people kind of understand this intuitvely.

5. Yep. By bending over backwards to "protect" Trump, the judges are causing more terrible behavior.

Many mothers and teachers could handle Trump much better, without blinking an eye.

We know the judges aren't just following the law as they want us to believe.
Because know one else would be given so many special privileges.

10. Mothers and teachers!

Absolutely. Somehow I feel that it will have to be a female to put him in his place.

7. Duct tape is the only thing that will shut him up. Use it.

8. Except that judges, unlike teachers

Judges really can put things that will go on Needy Amin's permanent record. Like very large judgments or contempt citations. The judge doesn't have a classroom full of other students to consider in giving the defendant free rein to misbehave. At the conclusion of the proceedings, I anticipate the judge lowering the boom on the defendant and his feckless attorneys who failed to get him to behave himself.

9. The jury is present

and can hear his tantrum. Just as unchecked rule breaking from students could influence the entire atmosphere and structure of a classroom, his "remarks" even after being warned can influence the jury and the entire purpose of the trial.
