Yeah - bit of a red herring there, BUT many here on FR said much worse than this little twit concerning that ruling. The only difference was that it was in the court of public opinion and not in a courthouse.
As for respect, that is earned. I don't know the judge, but asking the defendant about her assets seems to be a bit overboard. Was he trying to take everything she owned to prove a point?
Your analogy is ridiculous. I would have respectfully listened if Justice Roberts had chosen to read his opinion in his court and I was present. And, once no longer in a setting where decorum and circumspection are expected I would have proceeded to trash him with great gusto [Which I did.] Once she gets out, she'll be free to badmouth the judge however she pleases in the court of public opinion; his authority doesn't run there, so there will be no consequences.
There's a time and place for everything. In open court you're expected to respect the process and the people of your State or the US, even if you have no respect for the judge personally.

Oh, Please. Respect for Due Process, the Rule of Law, and the State of Florida and the Country, have been paid for with the blood of thousands of great men and the treasure of millions of taxpayers. Even if you haven't learned that the Court represents a lot more than the man sitting on the bench, you need to have enough common sense to know that p!ssing into the wind is a dumb-ass thing to do.

No, he's trying to determine if $5,000 or $10,000 or $25,000 or whatever is going to be sufficiently rich to deter a flight risk. She's indicated she's not going to treat the process seriously, so he's decided she might indeed not show up for arraignment or trial.
This is really not difficult. Adults realize when people have immediate power to damage you and you have no recourse, you suck it up until you can place yourself in a position to hit back. She should have shut her mouth and left it for her lawyer to make life difficult for the Court. Even if I concede that he shouldn't have doubled her bail, he's quite justified in citing her for criminal contempt once she flips him off and says "f**k you."
