This is my understanding also. I've read the caselaw (although not recently) from some of those cases, and from all reports, the judges pretty much laughed in their faces. The trials, for the most part, were full of stunts like reciting the Pledge instead of entering a plea, representing themselves, etc.

Why does "Fight the Power" all too often have to mean "We're a Bunch of Idiots"??
