Ahhh, but if the LAW (say Sanford v. Dred Scot, or Plessy v. Ferguson, so it’s JUDGE-MADE law, the kind that Bunning takes a particular shine to), if the LAW said that Rosa parks had to sit in the back of the bus, and he ordered Mrs. Parks to obey the LAW, and Mrs. Parks refused, he has to save judicial face, and contempt is his only option to get compliance out of Mrs. Parks.
