They forgot one (and it's my favorite), the Civil Flag of the United States:

This flag is still legally in use, but what is its purpose? Well, it is the flag of peacetime. The reason we never see it is that the United States is legally in a state of constant war, with the citizens of the United States as the declared enemy per the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1933. The flag we recognize of the United States, Inc. is a MILITARY ENSIGN; in fact, the gold fringe was added as a result of the bankruptcy of 1933 and the adoption of Admiralty Law in our courts. Effectively, when we enter a court room and see that flag, we are being told that the common law no longer applies. The judge is king.

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.
