New Jersey lawyer ejected from town council meeting for waving American flag to protest 'disgusting' new ban

A New Jersey resident was ejected from a town council meeting for waving an American flag in protest of a new ban on such items during public comments. The ban, passed by the Township of Edison, NJ, also prohibits the use of the U.S. Constitution and other 'props' during remarks. Residents argued that the ban violated their First Amendment rights. The resident, a lawyer, warned the council that they could face legal action for restricting residents in this manner. The council president instructed police officers to remove the resident from the meeting.
