A Tip o’ the (MAGA) Hat 0

Elie Mystal takes exception to the Supreme Court’s recent ruling that states cannot ban partisan clothing at polling places. As a side note, the item in question was a “Gadsden Flag” tee shirt; despite the Gadsden Flag’s roots in the Revolutionary War, it has become an ensign of the new Secesh.

A snippet (follow the link for the rest):

The ruling came down 7-2, and perhaps the margin was a bit of a surprise, but the First Amendment arguments made by the majority are not. It’s entirely consistent with majoritarian First Amendment views that white people can harass and intimidate black people — especially black people who dare to try to vote — in a myriad of ways as long as they don’t get physical.

. . . I’ve been to Mississippi and I know what black people have to go through in order to exercise their franchise.

Virginia offers Gadsden Flag license plates. I recall discussing them with someone once.

We agreed that they performed a service, in that that notified others that persons driving vehicles so adorned were likely–oh, never mind.
