Judge orders guy to drop his pants?
gil...@my-dejanews.com
drop his pants in court and define it as contempt if he refuses? I loved the
scenario with this creep ... but wonder how true-to-life it is.

Probably as true to life as holding a defense lawyer in contempt just for
doing his job. He didn't get the words "Objection" out before she ordered
the baliff to haul him into jail.
And when will we see a balliff *not* respond to a judge's order. I know
probably never, but at what point does it become "I was just following
orders"?

The ship sank, the South lost, and the sled got tossed in the fire.
Get over it.

If the bailiff saw the web site, maybe he felt the judge would reward him
with a little "Jimmy action" as a boner bonus (assuming, of course, that he is
heterosexual).
By the way, I won't think of her as a psycho judge anymore. On the 4/18
episode, she showed a heroic side of herself that we did not know existed
(whether what she did was legal I don't know). As I was watching, I got the
distinct impression that millions of women were on their feet cheering and
wanting to write in Judge Roberta Kittleson's name for President!
[Then they woke up and realized it was just a TV show -- aw, shucks!].
Overall, the judge is a complicated person.

turns out
to be a "psycho". I would like her to represent the open sexuality of older
woman as being
not ludicrous but "normal".
I liked the depiction of Jimmy's mother (I know it was a re-run) "marrying"
another
woman (the actress who plays Carol Hathaway's mother on ER) a few weeks ago.
I
liked the fact that although they were not glamourous, they certainly had a
sexual relationship.
And I think it would be great if Judge Zoe (Linda Hunt) has a serious
affair with someone like Elennor or
with Eugene.

If you think that's worthy of disbarrment (for me, it's when Eugene beats up
his own client in the courtroom), then everybody should be off the show.

That was already established. Remember the scene where she doodled on Lindsay
in a picture with Bobby? She's, as Mel Brooks would say, N-V-T-S.

Had he been wearing drawers, as one would normally expect, it wouldn't have
been an order to commit indecent exposure. Of course, after seeing he wasn't
wearing any, she made him keep the pants down and shuffle out of the room in
full view (of at least his backside), so your point is taken. I agree with
another poster. Kittleson is a complicated character. Or at least a
character with complications. From most of the comments I've seen, this ep
has now shifted opinion of her from "all bad and dangerous" to either
"heroic", or "nuts but with redeeming instincts". I find that interesting.

away with it. However, a judge can site you for contempt for breathing
their air if they so desire.
