What do you people not recognize about RULE OF LAW. whether you like it or not it should be followed. No one has the right to do what they want just because the think they are above the law. She was given a ticket and tore it up and refused to follow the direction of a lawful order which is contempt of court and that was what she was jailed for. Instead of telling the judge she made a mistake and be let go she decided to make a stink online that made her thousands of dollars through a go fund me page. Plus she got a loan from the government to pay employees she doesn't have. They are contractors and that allows her not to have to claim them on payroll. But that's ok because she's special and rules don't apply to her.
No, she was jailed and fined because she refused to kowtow to the judge's extortion attempt and he called it contempt of court. As for the rule of law what rule is there in a contempt citation? The judge decides what is contempt, he decides to charge, he decides to convict and he decides the sentence. Some rule of law there.
The Governor of the Texas changed the EO to preclude jailing as a punishment and backdated it to cover her, yet the judge jailed her.
The Supreme Court of Texas thought the judge overstepped and ordered her release.
