"I strenuously object?" Is that how it's done? Hm? "Objection, your Honor!" "Overruled" "No, no. I STRENUOUSLY object." "Oh! You strenuously object. Then I'll take some time and reconsider."

What it means
Our interpretation.
This is sarcasm aimed at how empty emphasis can be. The speaker mocks the idea that simply saying "strenuously" would change a judge's mind, imagining the judge suddenly reconsidering. It pokes fun at courtroom ritual and the hope that louder wording wins arguments.
