Fuck the draft

Now that I have your attention...
Free speech cheerleaders that Americans are, I'm pretty sure this bare argument would get skewered in court, at least on public indecency grounds. Certainly you have the right to give a cop the finger, though I really really recommend you don't.
There was a classic SC case (Cohen) during the Vietnam War a man was observed in a couthouse corridor wearing a jacket emblazoned "Fuck the draft" on the back. He went into a courtroom, first taking the jacket off, and was arrested.
His conviction was overturned because the Court felt he had not crossed the line between his right of expression and the court's need for decorum (you couldn't break into song during a trial, for example, unless maybe you were a defendant pleading insanity:).
So there is a time, manner, place for different kinds of expression, even uncivil ones. I'm just not picturing the place for expressive mooning... besides a nude beach. I remember a football coach at my high school getting canned for mooning a female math teacher, but that was private school -- no First Amendment.
Well, us here in the States

Hitting the Google glossary
yielded a New Zild Glossary which defines a "larrikin" as an "unruly person", a term which originated in 19th century Melbourne.

So... now it's OK to say yes to crack!? When did THIS happen?!
I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it!
"Magistrate Sheryl Cornack adjourned the case until December 13 to allow time for the federal and state attorneys-general to consider a response."
I think the delay might be to let Sheryl do some squats before showing her response.
I really hate Dan Patrick.

"Before enlightenment: sharpen claws, catch mice. After enlightenment: sharpen claws, catch mice."
"Magistrate Sheryl Cornack adjourned the case until December 13 to allow time for the federal and state attorneys-general to consider a response."
Does this mean the attorneys-general are preparing to present their rebuttal?
