Could you please paraphrase the underlined part in the following quotation:

"There may a judge out there stupid enough to emancipate you but until you find him I retain all my parental rights. One of which is to ground your sorry behind until kingdom come."

Could you please paraphrase the underlined part in the following quotation:

"There may a judge out there stupid enough to emancipate you but until you find him I retain all my parental rights. One of which is to ground your sorry behind until kingdom come."

If parents 'ground' a child, they will not allow him/her to go out in his/her free time.
'your sorry behind' = you
'until kingdom come' = for ever.

so:
You will not be allowed out for the rest of your life.

(1) You probably already know this, but "behind" in this sentence

is referring to the "buttocks." For example, sometimes an angry

person might say:

Get out of here, or I'm going to kick you in your behind.

(2) And "sorry" in your sentence means something like "pathetic"

or "pitiful."

Just to add to TheParser's helpful comments, such expressions as "your adjective ****" (when the asterisks represent some term for buttocks that might be considered offensive by some) is often used jocularly or offensively for 'you'.
