it looks bad in this case where people incorrectly get upset about a flag. it doesn't mean a thing in court.Stealing TIME?! I'm sorry, can you point me to the last person in the US prosecuted for punching in late to work repeatedly?
You seem to think freedom of speech extends into the private domain. It doesn't.
If your job requires you to stand in silence and you fail to do so, you can be fired. If your job requires you to have a specific dress code and you decide street clothes are acceptable, you can be fired. This really isn't a difficult concept.
You don't get Prosecuted, you get Fired. Having Someone Else Punch You In or Out is a Crime. It is Stealing Time. You need to talk to some of your Union Friends about that.Stealing TIME?! I'm sorry, can you point me to the last person in the US prosecuted for punching in late to work repeatedly?

No argument there. I'm just pointing out that ignoring something, or allowing it for 2 years, and then slamming the Firing Hammer Down does look bad on you, and having established a Precedent, may work against you in Court.
when have you ever heard of someone getting out of a speeding ticket with the plea "but your honor, I've sped all my life without a problem before. therefore this shouldn't count just because someone else wanted to enforce the established rules"
