Don't think this doesn't have consequences. It has everything to do with rules of evidence and jury instructions, especially as regards jury nullification.
I've often wondered what would happen if I ever had a case in Federal court and brought a small civil flag into the room with a little extendable stand so that my flag was higher than the one behind the judge... what would he do? If he understood it, my guess is that I'd be arrested on the spot.
More likely, you would be laughed out of the place. Modifying the U.S. Customs Service Flag by placing stars in the canton in lieu of the U.S. Coat of Arms does not a legal flag make. Moreover, the nonsense story that you include with it is even more laughable. Don’t drink to excess on this wonderful day.
Thanks, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this one before.
