Miss. Judge Again Asks Courtroom to Say Pledge After Jailing Lawyer for Refusing

A Mississippi judge again asked everyone in his courtroom to stand and pledge allegiance to the flag, despite an uproar over whether he has the right to make such a request.

The furor began Wednesday when an attorney with a reputation for fighting free speech battles stayed silent as everyone else recited the patriotic oath. The lawyer was jailed.

Playing devils advocate:

If anyone should have a allegiance to the US, should it not be officers of the court?

officers of the court take a pledge upon getting their license

This guy was probably specifically trying to establish a test case on this issue. I imagine the federal courts will rule that the jailing was unjustified, though.
