Did they have some kind of special dress code in place for everyone at the polling booth? I think not...

Another issue I have always had with the voting rules/laws..

A 17 year old genius cannot vote however a 30 year old idiot could walk in an pull levers until is heart is content... Just does not make sense to me..

Same 30 year old idiot gets to buy a gun and pull triggers to his hearts content.... and the 17 year old genius may not be able to.

I suppose it depends on just *Who* the people are that are squawking about the issue of what's being voted on, the Pro's or the Con's and who's $$$ is backing up the issue on the ballot, the "smokers" or the "drinkers"

It does not depend on anything.

Are the poll workers employed by the G? If not, no constitutional rights violations law suit will apply.

The *Gray* area which I was referring to was Not that of questioning the validity of the US Const., but that of the T-shirt being in proximity of the Polling area, considering the fact that a question about "Public Carry" (specifically New allowable Locations) was up for vote.
Also, I'm not saying that said law restricting the "promotion of any issue" is a legitimate one, if someone doesn't approve of said law then there are ways of changing that problem as they perceive it to be as well.

They are not voting on the US Constitution, that has already been done. The shirt with part of the US Constitution shouldn't be an issue. His shirt didn't say vote for or else. It was just a shirt with words that are LAW already. Now if his shirt referenced the current vote that would be one thing. They should be sued for violation of his rights, as he wasn't telling people on how to vote for an issue that wasn't the 2A.

By saying it "depends on *Who*", I'm was looking at this issue from a Political Liberal/Conservative POV.
>>If the guy had been a "Libnut" (as I politely call em') & wore a shirt say "ALL 2A Supporters are Killers", then I honestly believe that he would've been given a Free Pass & most likely been regarded as some kind of Hero.
>>But he doesn't appear to be any of that, so my take on the situation stands, that the wearer beware of who you are in present company with when making Any Pro-Gun Statements.
>>As far as *Suing* is concerned, there again, I believe That would be a waste of time & $$, due to the general fact that most arenas of the Gov't appointed System (today) are of the *LibNut* nature & the case would be thrown out for being Frivolous & Unwarranted.,
Just MY Opinion not being a Lawyer or any kinda' expert in the matter.



You are right there, he was not encouraging a Vote Pro or Con, but the "Essence" of the shirt was most definitely in favor a positive POV on 2A, thus the outcry of the Naysayers about Any 2A presence at the Polls on That given day.

Actually, a red shirt will guarantee that the wearer will not be beaming back up aboard the ship.:D

The funny thing is, Scotty frequently wore a Red Shirt,,, but I suppose there's always an exception to "The Rules" if it benefits the Greater Good.

Scotty didn't usally leave the ship, he stayed on the ship while Kirk and Spook went to the surface with the Doc and some new guy to the show in a red shirt that was in security. Poor new guy never made it back. I can see the actor getting a part on star trek now....

Friend: great what part did you get and is it going to be steady work?

Actor: I hope it will be steady, they told me I will be a security guy work closely with William Shattner and Lenord Nemoy. I will be their personal escort on away missions.

Friend: Have you ever watched the show?

Actor: No Why?

Friend: Keep looking for another job....lol
