What can you say to a judge?

I have recently got myself in a fair amount of trouble for a DUI. There is no question that I am guilty of the basic offense. I am willing to pay the fines and do the time. That all seems the way it should be.
What I would like to do, however, is to go into court (the next time), and express my sentiments to the judge.
These would not be real polite. I cannot repeat them here. Think of the worst things you could say to someone and you will be close.
My question is: How much more trouble can doing that get me into?
As of now, I figure I am messed-up either way. So, I would like to express my thoughts. They won't likely be anything he has heard in his court before.

Some men you just can't reach.
So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it.
Well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men."

Several years ago a friend of mine was involved in a bar fight. Not much of a fight, he only hit the other guy twice.
The fix was in. He was to get a fine and probation. The Judge told him that he could understand one punch thrown in anger but why did you hit him a second time?
My friends reply? "He was still twitchin' your honor".
My friend spent two weeks in the county lock up for that remark.
It doesn't pay to piss off a judge.

About the only thing a judge CAN'T do to you is shoot you on the spot.

Thegreatbeast said it perfectly:
Don't be an idiot. Keep your tongue. Inside a courtroom a judge can fudge you up and make things worlds worse for you. Behave.

Thank you for the G&R earworm! It has now replaced the Midnight at the Oasis earworm I had from another thread. Now if I can just stop whistling.

You're in enough trouble. Keep your mouth closed.

Bring a bottle to court and a couple of joints too to mellow out the day. Drink openly. See if anyone wants to share the joints. Tell him whatever is on your mind and nothing will happen. It's right there in the constitution.
