What does it mean to be in contempt of court?

CNN's Legal Analyst Danny Cevallos breaks down the limits of the courts power to hold people in contempt.

Yeah... so criminal contempt is basically legal kidnapping.

If you do this in Germany your hardest punishment is to pay 10 Euro.

The response to a contempt in court is to do a sabotage and then send a letter to the supreme court of the state telling them that that sabotage was a fine imposed by me to the state for abuses on a member (me) of the oppressed working class people, and obviously not leave fingerprints nor genetic material in the letter.

How is Contempt of court Constitutional, what Legislative act established its Lawfulness or what Supreme Court presidance have been argued over it? The fact a Judge can order you to do what ever He or She wish is seems to violate the Constitution and 9th Amendment in particular in addition to the inalienable right NOT to Consent to be Governed as is well expressed by The Declaration of Independence and well understood by the founders. Please provide any cases or Legislation establishing its basis in Law Thank you...

I wonder how many days until Kim Davis violates her court order and returns to jail. lol

So what I’m curious about is let’s say you have someone who’s mad at a Judge’s ruling and the person calls the judge a “stupid idiot” and gets thrown in jail on contempt of court… if the person chooses to not apologize to the judge… could you be locked up indefinitely?

Probably better to comply? even if the courts do something wrong? that's great advice lol so much for our "justice" system

I have a question. I got divorced two months ago in Florida, my former spouse and I agree to sell the marital home immediately as it was written in the settlement agreement. She has been very difficult and doesn't want to sign the listing agreement to sell the property. Is my former spouse in contempt of court?
I really need to put the house in the market asap. Any recommendations? Thanks.

commercials and advertisements should be contempt of court and be sent To PRISON for LIFE
