Contempt?

This judge needs to die in a fire.

If I didn't have contempt for the courts before, I'm certainly developing some now.

That's cool that the ACLU is on it, though.

This case is almost custom-made for the ACLU.

What he wrote on the cheque might bring his maturity under scrutiny, but this is definitely not an example of legal contempt; it is a case of a judge who has let his position go to his head.

It's a good thing he didn't say that on the radio. In the U.S., broadcast radio and television can now be fined up to $325,000 for saying anything "patently offensive" between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. (This restriction doesn't seem to apply to cable and satellite programming.)
