If you want to raise a stink about the gold on the flag feel free to tell the judge when you get to court. I saw somebody try this once, arguing that the gold fringe signified that it was a maritime court and the judge had no jurisdiction over him to enforce a child support order. The judge humored him for a couple minutes and then asked the bailiff to remove the flag from the court. See, there is no requirement for ANY flag to be in the courtroom, and any decoration on it is just that - decoration.
There is nothing in the US constitution or US law that allows you to ignore American laws and the American constitution.
