    …but immediately jailing someone because they can easily afford the fine seemed wrong.

    No it doesn’t, not even a little bit! Restrictions on their time are the only things rich people understand; they should be jailed instead of fined early and often.

      And then they get the case cancelled because it’s clearly bias against them that they don’t get to just pay the same fee as anyone else as a first warning.

        Lol…that’s not how it works. You don’t get a case cancelled for the judge holding someone in contempt…

          You do if it’s Trump and he uses it to question the judge’s neutrality.

          How long do you think before they replace the judge and get things started again? If you believe it won’t be long enough to get him elected then I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
