The "lawyers work for the British crown" thing was thrown at me once by a whackadoodle years ago. They have an entire lunatic body of law.

Check out why flags in courtrooms have yellow fringe on them sometime.

When you enter a courtroom displaying a gold or yellow fringed flag, you have just entered into a foreign country, and you better have your passport with you, because you may not be coming back to the land of the free for a long time. The judge sitting under a gold or yellow fringe flag becomes the "captain" or "master" of that ship or enclave and he has absolute power to make the rules as he goes. The gold or yellow fringe flag is your warning that you are leaving your Constitutionally secured RIGHTS on the floor outside the door to that courtroom.


Because, you know, they couldn't do that unless they put yellow fringe on the flag.
