 PS If you do feel tempted to flame the judge just be careful you do not stray
into a Section 1505 Obstruction of Justice

    "Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening
    letter or communication influences, obstructs, or impedes or
    endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede the due and proper
    administration of the law under which any pending proceeding is
    being had before any department or agency of the United States, or
    the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which any
    inquiry or investigation is being had by either House, or any
    committee of either House or any joint committee of the Congress -
      Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five
    years, or both."
