One could reasonably expect 1st Amendment protection in your court case example. Even though you didn't want to, you've succeeded in supporting my point. If you wore that same shirt to a private establishment, the management could legally have you thrown out if they wanted to. At the civil suit, you could wear the shirt in question to Court again. The Court wouldn't necessarily come after you, but it probably wouldn't help your case either. Fact is, having been in Court several times recently (as the victim), I have learned that they also *can* and often *do* restrict the kids of clothing you can wear.
that doesnt say much about the courts.
