Contempt of court is typical when you don't follow the courts orders.

(a) no, it isn't that typical, and it's unusual as applied to the government or its attorneys, and (b) contempt of court is a limited remedy available to a court for specified purposes, cannot be used to indict for violations of other laws, and certainly is not a remedy for an alleged violation of those other laws.

So you are trying to imply that a Court is ok with disobedience of its orders?

That throws out a lot of a court's authority of that if true.

Not the best argument from you, am afraid.

And where is the answer to my earlier response to you?
