A rules based system works when every player follows the rules. One side is actively dismantling and abandoning the rules. Do we still keep playing with our hands tied behind our backs?

You are essentially saying the crowd has to do its own justice.

It's a courtroom, not a voting booth.

Do juries decide who is in contempt of the court?

Are you aware that there's more to the court system than juries? And that those juries, too, operate under a strict set of rules about what they can and can't rule on?

No, we fight to ensure that the rules are followed. In this case they are, the judge has discretion here.

Would you rather there were "mandatory minimum" laws when it came to this as well?
