The officer is seriously misinformed if he thinks the Supreme Court has ruled on federal dress codes.

This fellow doesn't understand why he has to leave and wants to know the definition of "unlawful entry" and gets arrested.

Clarence Thomas doesn't understand the simple instructions on a disclosure form about his wife's income so he leaves it blank but continues to pull his six-digit salary and perks...

If he'd had a wad of money to hand to the cop, that would be free speech allowed by the Supreme Court.

will be surveillance drones making sure you don't wear such garb within sight of anyone else.

Here we are - WATCHING as our "freedoms" are apprehended - and professing our disgust for it. Fussing about it as German Jews must've done in what little sanctum their homes afforded in the late 30s. We need to invade Washington DC - rout the brown shirts - including the president - and reinstitute the freedoms our founding documents profess to afford us. Otherwise - we're FUCKED. Fucked cowards, sheeple, lemmings, whatever.

Edit: I post this - full well realizing it's alerted some robot monitor somewhere. Tough shit for me - tough shit for whoever reviews my percieved threat to our corporatocracy.
