Judge Robert Ruehlman is my new hero.

It’s a fairly well-known concept that if you are to appear in front of a judge in court, it would well behoove you to treat the court with the respect due to that position. After all, the judge is someone that you would want on your side by the end of your appearance.

Makes sense, right?

So, going into the court with the proper attitude would expectedly include some caveats. One of these caveats would be “don’t curse in front of the judge.” One would think that this would be common sense,  when in fact it’s not so much common sense as (apparently) an upgrade to some peoples’ behavior.

Unless, it seems, you’re in Judge Ruehlman’s courtroom.

Okay, the first guy he sent to jail for six months was being charged with a crime. Already he’s shown a lack of cognitive reasoning skills and as such, his dumbass approach to responding to a judicial decision (“that’s fucking bullshit”) is less surprising. But when you’re an attorney appearing in front of the court?

Really? Is that the time to say “fuck” in front of the judge, even under your breath?

Seriously folks, we’re showing a remarkable lack of sense on a species-level scale at this point. If you don’t understand the simple concept of behavior conducive to your own benefit not being overridden by your innate need to be a complete shithead, then you earn whatever consequences you receive- case closed.

Out.
