Hi Folks
I read an article in the Washington Post about a criminal defense attorney getting cited by the judge for " Contempt of Court..
The reason for the contempt charge was that the attorney was wearing a BLM(black lives matter pin) in the court room and the judge asked her twice to remove said pin... She refused and was handcuffed and charged with contempt and received 5 days in the slammer..
Now my question to you folks and hopefully some barristers will join the discussion..
If you were wearing a " I support the 2nd Amendment pin" to court, either as a juror or litigant and you were asked to remove said pin, would you acquiesce or would you claim your 1st Amendment right to free speech?
Regards
