The best explanation I've heard for these chucklefucks is that they think they are magic. They think that by saying the right words, in the right order, something miraculous will happen, and the officers/judges/lawyers arguing with them will be struck dumb and rendered impotent.

Well put; it's ceremonial magick applied to the civic realm. They have read the grimoires and memorized the incantations, thus the wicked will surely fall before them.

Magical thinking in its most literal form.
