Just skimming that thread, these are the bits that I found the most amusing:

Apparently DrDerp is a lawyer now, and I mean, c’mon, he’s right, contempt of court isn’t a **true** crime, right guys? There aren’t enough rolleyes on the internet. Not satisfied with limiting the spread of his ignorance, he doubled down with:

Yes, not only is contempt of court not a crime in DrDerp’s universe, even though “we don’t know exactly what they meant” apparently DrDerp does know, a “High Crime” was one where the death penalty was a potential punishment. Only, you know, he’s completely wrong on that as well.
