Because other people have a right to a speedy trial as well, and if you're intentionally holding up the court's time they're going to punish you.
That doesn't give them the right to jail you indefinitely. This system lies and tells you we all have rights, but if they can just do that forever because you insulted or angered a judge, then you need to realize it is just a lie and we don't have rights. It's the same authoritarianism people fought and died to erase from the world. Judges can't be allowed to just do what they want.
They aren't jailing you indefinitely just because you angered the judge. They might give you a few days if, again, you're just being an asshole or wasting time.
I've seen a lot of "Oh, judges can't be trusted" since Trumps indictments have rolled out. I wonder why that is.
The conversation presupposes they will. Actually, that's exactly what the others were saying. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, bro.
The legal system simply is illegitimate, and the fact that can happen is one of the Mt. Everest high pile of reasons why
the legal system fucks everyone, trumpies just don't want it to fuck their guy. It's like, welcome to the party guys lol.
