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.
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.

As I said, she shouldn't be wearing it. However, I'd be surprised if the judge hasn't let less controversial lapel pins go unchecked.
ETA: If it's a principle thing with the judge, I'm fine, and I hope it is/was.
