3. Here's the thing. Judge Bunning is not going to want to hold her in contempt a third time.

He warned her multiple times, gave her a taste of consequences over the extended Labor Day weekend, and let her out under strict orders not to interfere with the issuance of marriage certificates to all legally eligible couples.

If she defies his orders, he won't have a sense of humor about it. He's going to make his punishment harsh enough to really make her regret pissing him off. He won't just put her in jail for a week. He'll give her at least a month, maybe a full 60 days before he has another hearing to see if she's willing to be cooperative.
