This time five clergymen, backed by the New Hampshire American Civil Liberties Union, decided it was time to call a halt. They sued Thomson on the grounds that his edict was unconstitutional, and U.S. District Judge Walter Jay Skinner agreed. Thomson could lower the flags, Skinner ruled, only if he proclaimed a secular reason for doing so. Next day, however, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit threw out Skinner's injunction.

Skinner, decides on January 20 to dismiss the case, the Indians face a long series of appeals that will further exacerbate the tension between the whites and the Indians in Mashpee.
