Judge Rules Flag Speech Protected

Judge Rules Flag Speech Protected

Published 2 days, 20 hours ago
Description

A federal judge has sided with a liberal group demanding they keep flying their “eighty-six forty-seven” flag near the National Mall, ruling it’s protected political speech—not a threat. The judge, Randolph Moss, granted a two-week temporary order, emphasizing the group’s intent was to advocate for presidential impeachment through lawful means, not incite violence. Despite government concerns over recent incidents near the White House, the judge noted “eighty-six” is a longstanding slang term meaning “to get rid of,” and the message doesn’t call for immediate illegal action. The ruling underscores that political advocacy—even if provocative—is protected under the First Amendment.
