ORDER. In preparation for today's hearing, I want counsel for the defendants to carefully read the following: Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1990) and United States v. Eichman, 496 U.S. 310 (1990). Then, counsel for the defendants should be prepared to answer the following questions when I ask them at the hearing this afternoon:Recognizing your duty of candor to the tribunal, and following Johnson and Eichman, am I not bound to restrain future enforcement of the Nebraska flag statute at least as applied to the plaintiff and members of her church so long as they otherwise act peacefully while desecrating the American or Nebraska flag during their religiously motivated protests?If the answer to the foregoing question is "no," what federal precedent do you have to support your position?IT IS SO ORDERED.
