The USSC has already said “f**** the draft” is protected speech. If this is not protected political speech ( a very loose test) then she would be screwed.

“A Round Lake Park woman was held in contempt and jailed because a judge found a message on her T-shirt offensive.”
I’m a little unclear, here.
Why should someone be jailed because some judge is “offended” by something on their T-shirt? There’s nothing illegal about what that girl was wearing, so why is it any of the judge’s business? What if the judge is a Democrat, and suddenly decides to jail people for wearing George Bush, anti-Obama, or American Flag T-shirts? Should she have THAT right, too?
If I was the young woman, I would have offered to take the offensive shirt off — right there and then.

A double bagger with the lights out, senses numbed with prodigious amounts of alcohol, and a loaded gun to your (or my) head. Better make that a triple-bagger. You wouldn't want your dog to lose all respect for you.

Hey truthguy...
I’m sure you’re aware that the truth almost always offends someone.
And the concept expressed on this T-Shirt is truth.
Now, if women would only use their power for good instead of evil.... :)

And the concept expressed on this T-Shirt is truth.Not for that women! It would take a mighty desperate man (if she even does it with men) to go along with her rules.

I believe the better course of action for the judge would have been to ask this young dingbat to leave the courtroom. Arresting her was a dumb ass thing to do.
Was the t-shirt inappropriate. Of course. Do you arrest her for exercising her first amendment right to be a fool?
Certainly not!

If that demonstrably narcissistic tyrant wannabe cant get simple things strait then the law is the very last job that individual should hold.Specifically, what did he get wrong? I mean, from a legal perspective.

Theres nothing illegal about what that girl was wearing, so why is it any of the judges business?There is a certain level of respect and decorum that is expected in a courtroom. Unless you are dragged there for violating the law, if you can't extend that respect and decorum, stay the heck out.
The judge probably asked her to leave, and I would be willing to bet she got mouthy with him. She's the idiot.

The general truth is, though,
men act as badly as women allow them to.
