I think I like the gandhi look idea best of the ones i've heard so far.
However maybe it would be best to "translate" gandhi's clothing into American.   Gandi was wearing the traditional clothes of his people.  Maybe russell could wear the traditional clothes of *our* people:  a colonial outfit.  Can one of these be spun up before apr. 19?   and how do you guys feel about the idea?

Sometimes all it takes is a tri cornered hat.

Edmund Burke,
People crushed by law have no hope but from power. If laws are their enemies, they will be enemies to laws; and those who have much to hope and nothing to lose will always be dangerous...

The Sutler of Mount Misery http://www.gggodwin.com/ makes good tricornes. That's where I got mine. Black felt with black tie-ups - civilian.

I think you have to remove all hats in the court.  They forced me to take off my baseball cap at your arraignment.

The NHCLU will not help?  Why did they say they would not represent you?
