Video is going gangbusters this morning showing bailiffs arrest an irate lawyer in the middle of a populated courtroom.
The lawyer, Rob Hopkins, is an “accomplished civil rights attorney,” blares the world’s most effusive piece of writing about a lawyer ever put to print. He’s also a she.
Hopkins, a self-identified female-to-male attorney in Oklahoma, was representing a civil custody case in front of Judge Laurie Jackson. I’m not going to break down the case or its merits, however, because Hopkins’ behavior in the court was self-evident.
As the lawyer opposing Hopkins said to the judge, “It’s as clear as the nose on my face.”
Hopkins became increasingly agitated with Jackson, the volume on her almost-but-not-quite masculine voice rising.
“Stop, stop!” Jackson said. “You interrupt me again, I am going to hold you in direct contempt.”
