There's no jury because it's regarding acts that occurred in court, so it's simply not meaningful to have a jury decide the facts of the case when they happened right in front of the judge, who does not need anyone to figure out the veracity of what they just personally witnessed.

The alternative is that people have a right to stop the courts from functioning. Our interests in not having courts that can be easily thwarted probably does outweigh our interests in any single conviction.

It's only forever if you refuse to comply for that long. It is coercive. The justice system does not, because it cannot, ask you to comply. It forces you to comply and it does not take no for an answer or it would not function.
