It's illegal to take photos and video in many courts, including all federal courts? Definitely one would need permission and can't do it surrepticiously.

This is a slap in the face to the judge, and the courts, to flout their rules as if they were above them. And they were above them apparently, they didn't get held in contempt.

I spent a few sessions in court last year and they disallow all phone use except for the attorneys and other officials.

There's no law anymore. These people have already gotten away with things much worse.

pretty sure when held in contempt at a judicial hearing you literally cannot leave the room unless you're in custody.

good luck fighting that with your billions of dollars.

It's because they know that they ARE above the law. They've gotten away with things that would spell life in prison for you or I. They have the head of the America regime cozied up to. They were all at several dinner parties on Little St. James Island.

They know any contempt findings by the judge would be overturned by higher courts, or cancelled by the president as well, as long as they are up to date on their protection money and pay the deductible on their plan.

And they think the judge wouldn't dare in the first place, and would probably retaliate against the judge in secret ways if she did do something, and get away with it.
