While I agree that wearing the pin is ridiculous, unless it was a 4 inch campaign pin or something, it seems equally as ridiculous to throw someone in jail for it.

Pretty sure she was thrown in jail for not doing what the judge said.

Funny, I don't recall the standard having a size metric. It is "no political representation". If you let this go, you've opened the door for a bunch of other nonsense.
Besides, like another poster noted, she wasn't "thrown in jail" for wearing a pin. She was put in jail for not observing courtroom decorum after repeated warnings from the judge.

There are rules for courtroom decorum. Most courts do not allow clothes or accessories that explicitly espouse a political statement. It's the judge's courtroom, so you do what you are told.
