Contempt of court is such a BS charge and should only apply to disruption of courtroom proceedings. A judge shouldn't even be allowed to rule on this, what do you think they are going to do, limit their own power?
We've reached the same problem with congress, POTUS, the DOJ...None of them have checks and balances anymore.
It will get worse quickly as they realize just how untouchable they truly are.
