7. Out of what bank account do such fines come from? |
|
Better, I think, would be a citation of contempt, which might be able to be used in impeachment hearings.

Just guessing here, and don't know what penalties might ensue.

I think these TROs are just for show. As you can see they are accomplishing nothing. This way the judge can say she's doing all she can, and the WI fascists can go on their merry way.

8. She can find individuals in contempt |
|
And thus fine them and jail them. Money would come from their own pocketbook, not the state's.
