An unlawful edict cannot be used as the basis of a contempt charge. I was involved in a case in my jurisdiction where an individual was arrested in a city, for a crime allegedly committed in another province. The local police had no jurisdiction to arrest him, but the judge who arraigned him imposed an order requiring him to deliver his guns to the police. He refused and was cited in contempt. On appeal, the higher court dismissed the initial charges and also the contempt ruling. The order seizing his firearms was invalid, as it was based on his unlawful arrest. The lower court judge had no right to issue a contempt citation on an order that had been unlawfully made. She is 100% right and all conservatives should support her in this fight against political and judicial tyranny.
In the case you cited, the person had to go through the legal process to finally get justice. Refused to give his guns, but I ‘d bet he gave up his guns before he got to the appellate level. So his contempt for the lower court did not allow him to keep his guns.
In the Texas case, the owner will have a chance to argue the law/order was unconstitutional, that her contempt of court should be thrown out, get her money back. She won’t be able to get the time back she spent in jail. Pyrrhic victory, perhaps. Practically speaking, she could have made the same point, pursued the same path without going to jail. But she believed she could defy the judge (even if the judge is wrong on the rule of law). That contempt citation happened should be no surprise. We all like to play by the rules, so there is order and justice, no?
