Danny Lampley (who clerked for me in law school), was jailed by Chancery Court Judge Littlejohn in Tupelo for failing to recite the pledge of allegiance in open court today. Danny was one of the local lawyers who represented the plaintiff in the Pontotoc school prayer case years ago, working with the ACLU and People for the American Way. I’m informed that Danny rose and was respectful, but did not recite the pledge. Media is reporting that Danny has since been released after having been in jail from about 9:30 to about 2:30. The order incarcerating him provides: BE IT REMEMBERED, this date, the Court having ordered all present in the courtroom to stand and recite the Pledge of Allegience, and having found that Danny Lampley, Attorney at Law, failed and refused to do so, finds said Danny Lampley to be in criminal contempt of court. The order states that for this, Danny Lampley “is hereby ordered to be incaraerated in that Lee County jail.” The order continues: IT IS FURTHER ORDED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED, that Danny Lampley shall purge himself of said criminal contempt by complying with the order of this Court by standing and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in open court. I had not blogged about this because I was in the process of preparing an emergency writ of mandamus on Danny’s behalf. It’s apparently over now, and, hopefully, no legal action will be necessary. Here’s a copy of Lampley contempt order. Update: I added this: ”I’m informed that Danny rose and was respectful, but did not recite the pledge.”

"One of the least understood strategies of the world revolution now moving rapidly toward its goal is the use of mind control as a major means of obtaining the consent of the people who will be subjects of the New World Order." K.M. Heaton, The National Educator
LOL yeah that was about my thought as well. The concept of freedom is just lost on some.
"Every Person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It only makes sense. It's a socialist composed Pledge to the Government. That being the case, it makes sense that it will eventually become legally mandated. Socialists can't exist without the gun of government pointed at everybody after all. Glad to see how far the gloves have come off the last ten years. They're overplaying their hand and moving way too fast. That's to our benefit.
"The more artificial taboos and restrictions there are in the world, the more the people are impoverished.... The more that laws and regulations are given prominence, the more thieves and robbers there will be." - Lao Tzu, 6th century BC
There is nothing in the Constitution of the United States, as I understand it, that constrains us to take an oath unless we accede to office. As others have pointed, out a pledge of allegiance to a republic is a contradiction in terms. The Pledge as it was originally recited with the "Bellamy salute." I would like to direct this to the distinguished members of the panel: You lousy cork-soakers. You have violated my farging rights. Dis somanumbatching country was founded so that the liberties of common patriotic citizens like me could not be taken away by a bunch of fargin iceholes... like yourselves. Thank you. - Roman Moroni
Shoot the Judge and the Liar (lawyer). We need a bounty on all such varmints.
When will a free fire zone be declared? is what I wanna know.
