"Giving somebody the finger is an ACT, but it says something too."
Yeah, in New Jersey it's an ILLEGAL ACT and you will be ARRESTED.
No kidding!
It's just a "act" but it has a consequence - be arrested and people are arrested for it. So ACTS are not immune to prosecution.

And perhaps someday it will come before the supreme court and they will strike that stupid law down too.

Please cite the relevant statute. I am aware of at least one state where police in unmarked cars drive poorly in an attempt to elicit a response from motorists that may involve the middle finger, but in those such cases the charge is for removing a hand from the steering wheel (which is itself an absurd prohibition), not specifically for showing the middle finger.
If you have documentation that New Jersey has outlawed display of the State Bird of New York, I would be interested in seeing it.
