As I navigate these instruments that are deigned to protect the inherent dignity of the human being and compare and contrast with reality - I recognize the contempt the state party has to the rights of individuals and human dignity..
I use the word contempt specifically to show that it is the state that is a perpetual wrongdoer.
They operate primarily as force that undermines the intent of universal order.
That is their modus operandi.
To think the state is capable of doing the honourable thing and uphold their obligations is absurd.
Thats like asking a fish to play basketball.
Personally, that romantic story that someone for the DOJ's office is going to do the right thing and uphold order - is dead!
No more false hopes and dreams .. Just an acknowledgment of what the reality is.. Not what is claimed to be.
willful disobedience or disrespect towards a court's authority, dignity, or orders, hindering justice, with definitions encompassing both disrespect in court (e.g., insults) and failing to obey orders (e.g., non-payment of child support). It's categorized as civil (for another party's benefit) or criminal (to obstruct justice) and can result in fines or jail time, ensuring judicial function.
Key Aspects of Contempt (from Black's Law Dictionary & related sources):
- Disregard for Authority: Intentionally defying a court's power or a legislative body's dignity.
- Obstruction of Justice: Any act that impedes or frustrates the administration of justice.
- Disobedience to Orders: Willfully failing to comply with a lawful court order, such as a summons or a directive to pay support.
Types of Contempt:
- Civil Contempt: Failure to obey a court order benefiting another party (e.g., not paying alimony).
- Criminal Contempt: Acts intended to obstruct justice, like threatening a judge or refusing to testify (if pertinent).
Examples of Contemptuous Behavior:
- Insulting language or violent acts in court.
- Refusing to testify or produce evidence.
- Willfully ignoring a court-ordered deadline to move out of a property.
In essence, contempt ensures courts can function by punishing actions that undermine their authority or disrupt legal proceedings.
