There is a long standing legal argument on the validity, jurisdiction and origin of some courts.
I have forgotten the details, but I think it goes to military, admiralty, or administrative court as oppose to a constitutional court.
I recall that these courts refuse to allow a constitutionally defined flag, and instead use one of different dimensions and including gold trim.
Is there truth to this?
Is this dynamic in play here?
Experts wanted!
Regardless of flag fringes, most attorneys and most judges believe in the legal fallacy that the Constitution says only what SCOTUS claims that it says, and not the plain meaning based on original intent. They do not believe that our rights come from God. In other words, the Constitution can only be interpreted by “experts”, and the unwashed masses, the profane, should not dare to question their magisterium.
A bit like the way the Catholic Church treated the Bible prior to the Reformation, I might add.
