    Couldn’t anyone else that was held in contempt for doing the same shit down the road use this in their appeal though?

      Not directly. Judges have significant discretion over their courtroom decorum and procedure.

      If the judges decisions on stuff like this are reasonable, they are upheld, even if it’s applied diametrically to two identical litigants.
