the judge should be thrown in jail for being a jerk.

No. It's his courtroom. The participants in the room were warned. Too many "jerks" don't pay attention to rules, regulations and requests. These stupid phones ring in Church and at meetings. When I condust a meeting or a seminar, I announce that there will be NO CELL PHONE ACTIVITY in my meeting.

How come the citizens are bound by rules and regulations, yet millions entering our country illegally get a routine pass?

Which laws are we able to ignore?

I like to start with my taxes. How much money is it going to cost the tax payers to jail this teenager for 21 days, for her cell phone ringing?

"It's his courtroom."

No it is not! It is OUR courtroom! He just gets the privilege of having the authority to operate it.

Law, says the judge as he looks down his nose,
Speaking clearly and most severely,
Law is as I've told you before,
Law is as you know I suppose,
Law is but let me explain it once more,
Law is The Law.

Yet law-abiding scholars write:
Law is neither wrong nor right,
Law is only crimes
Punished by places and by times,
Law is the clothes men wear
Anytime, anywhere,
Law is Good morning and Good night.

Others say, Law is our Fate;
Others say, Law is our State;
Others say, others say
Law is no more,
Law has gone away.

And always the loud angry crowd,
Very angry and very loud,
Law is We,
And always the soft idiot softly Me.

--W.H. Auden
