6. It's not partisan.

But I think it's political.

It deals with policies and the distribution of power, and demands a shift in them.

A pin for GLBTQ rights would be the same. As would a pin against such rights. Or "US out of Afghanistan." "No blood for oil." Political, even if we can't make it partisan and say, "This pin is jab at Obama" or "at Bush."


If visible to the jury, it could amount to persistent attempts at persuasion. Depends on the case and on the jury. Neutral clothing is impartial.

I'd also hope that a judge would rule out a US flag pin if the court case involved something like treason or being an unregistered foreign agent, or church pin if it involved freedom of religion or religious discrimination.
