Daniel Rozak is a man often referred to as "your honor", which is something I refuse to do.
I don't refuse to call him "your honor" or even include his title of "judge" before his name because I'm an asshole who wishes to disrespect authority, but because he really doesn't deserve it. The title of "judge" implies someone with good judgment - which he doesn't. And, in that same vein, calling someone "your honor" implies that you honor him - which I don't.
I don't make it a habit to go around, non-chalantly disrespecting authority figures (probably because I haven't been 12 in a very long time). However, this guy definitely, 100%, no-doubt-about-it, deserves my complete and total disrespect. A good term to use in his court room would be "your honorable ass" or maybe "your dishonor", because that's what he's done to himself recently - completely dishonored himself with idiocy, and here is why:
(Aug. 10) -- As Clifton Williams sat in the courtroom in Joliet, Ill., awaiting his cousin's sentencing on drug charges, little did he know he would soon be the one in jail.
As Judge Daniel Rozak sentenced Williams' cousin to two years probation, Williams yawned, an act that earned him six months in jail on contempt charges, the Chicago Tribune reported.[1]
A guy yawned during a courtroom proceeding, and now he's in jail. Wow. Yawning, as proven by a few studies (and the television show Mythbusters) can be completely involuntary. Perhaps somebody else yawned, or the guy thought about the word "yawn" (hell, I bet someone reading this just yawned - but not from boredom, I hope).[2] In any case, yawning is hardly a reason to be held "in contempt", and especially not for six months.
Maybe Daniel Rozak is correct, maybe Mr. Williams really did do it on purpose, but somehow I don't see how he should be charged with Contempt of Court, and receive the MAXIMUM SENTENCE ALLOWED BY LAW for such charges.
So, to recap: One yawn can get you the same penalty as somebody that stands up and tells the judge to fuck off. What an amazing courtroom Rozak must be running there. Was he, by any chance, born and raised in Texas? Or the 1600s?
