Both of those sound like the kind of shenanigans a judge wouldn't look kindly on.

It's not clear that they are actually violating the law, though. Judges can be wrong too.

Didn't a judge say they couldn't do that? What's transpired since?

soraminazuki Jun 11, 2024 View on HN

Wow. Could a judge ever face consequences for this kind of shenanigans?

as long as the judge allows it, it's unlikely to be "comtemptuous"

I am not a lawyer but I'm guessing a judge would look pretty badly on doing this too obviously.

You're right, sorry, replace "a judge" for "anyone"

Maybe the judge was wrong. Let's see if this ruling gets appealed.

You really think a judge is going to buy this?

It sounds like your problem is with the laws we have, not the judge.
