A gentle reminder that freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences...especially when the object of said speech is a sitting judge presiding over your case.

I didn't see it, but I heard her reaction on the radio this morning. Sounded like she was about to pass out.

The judge clearly over reacted to the "adios", but I'm with him on the 30 days for contempt. Too many people simply don't get that court is a serious place.

Never mess with people who have the power to make your life miserable. That includes DMV employees, waiters and baggage handlers. And judges. Especially them.

A Miami woman facing drug charges made her situation much worse when she laughed at and then flipped off the man with the gavel. File this case under: Ill advised.

According to NBC Miami, 18-year-old Penelope Soto was in court for charges relating to possession of Xanax, a prescription drug. Judge Jorge Rodriguez-Chomat was in the process of setting her bond. He asked Soto about the value of her jewelry. Soto laughed. That was strike one.

"It's not a joke, you know, we're not in a club now," Rodriguez-Chomat said. "We are not in a club. Be serious about it."

Soto replied: "I'm serious about it, you just made me laugh. You just made me laugh, I apologize. It's worth a lot of money."

The judge said, "Like what?" Soto compared the jewelry to a wealthy rapper. She replied that the jewelry is "like Rick Ross. It's worth money."

The perplexed judge asked if Soto had taken drugs within the past 24 hours, to which she answer, "Actually, no." The judge then set Soto's bond at $5,000 and said, "Bye-bye." Soto chuckled and said, "Adios." Strike two. The judge summoned her back and raised the bond to $10,000, eliciting gasps from those in the courtroom.

Soto asked if the judge was serious. Judges are not known for their humor, and Rodriguez-Chomat is no exception. "I am serious," he said. "Adios."

But Soto wasn't done. Instead of leaving the courtroom she flipped Rodriguez-Chomat the bird and said "F*** you." And that was strike three. Soto was again called back and then sentenced to thirty days in the big house for contempt of court.

Exactly, it's a double-standard. He gets to put her down by saying she acts like she's in a club, and then his flippant little "bye bye", but when he gets a little of it back he can't take it.

Judges get too much power & respect IMO. What, just because you wear a robe, we're supposed to treat you almost as if you were a drill instructor?

Oh and what's with the whole "all rise" shit? When is that dumbass tradition going to end? Is this 17th century England or something?
