Judges have the legal power to hold people in contempt.
In the Christian side, Jesus has the victim of trials that had false witnesses and false charges. He subjected himself to authority because that authority was placed over Him by God. This woman’s authority, the judge is also placed over he by God.
NOPE. She was elected by the PEOPLE. They pay her salary. This judge is not her authority as it pertains to her job. He also is not her superior in the workplace.
