    No, only you have unlimited strikes when it comes to the law. You threaten another person 483 more times, and we might fine you $1000.

      If you threaten the family members of a federal judge a few dozen more times we will slowly start to count down from 5.

        I want to say the punishment fits his mental age but how do I reconcile that with the fact that he has dementia? Can toddlers have dementia? Mentally he is a superposition of tot and extremely old.

      I was pretty chuffed about that $1000 ask, but it turns out that that’s the maximum fine allowed for contempt of court in a criminal trial in New York.

      Beyond that, there’s either exclusion from the courtroom (and no judge wants to exclude a defendant from the courtroom) or detention up to thirty days.
