Either way it ruled, the court was bound to set a precedent. If it did nothing, legislatures would have a green light to keep out or effectively inhibit all dissenters.

I had on boots that came to my knees and a green Tom Jones shirt. Everyone looked at me like I was a bomb or something. It used to bother me. These people out here don't accept anything they don't know. Like, they come in here and say, 'Do you really wear those clothes?' I tell them, 'No, I wear a grey flannel suit and then I change when I get into the store...
