I just think that it's crazy that if it were to be some other random person instead of a right wing figure head they'd immediately be in contempt for this kind of behavior. Because they are well known they get special treatment and that just shows that there are a different set of rules for the wealthy and well connected.
More likely is that the judge is highly aware that Jones will try to use anything to get her default judgement and the jury awards thrown out on appeal. She gave him a super long leash and he still got defaulted and a judgement of around $500m. I'd say she did an ok job.
