ORIGINAL: tazzygirl Depends on the state, Ishtarr, about the illegality of smoking. We have bars here that are legally allowed to have smoking inside. It must display a prominent sign to the public. And, I believe, the majority of their sales cannot come from food. Other than that, you are correct. Just pointing out the exception to the general rule. If courts do not want breastfeeding mothers to feed in their court, such a sign could be employed. Thanks tazzy, I didn't know that there where still exceptions left in the US. And yes, considering that there is nothing that states that breastfeeding in court is illegal, and it's solely up to the judge, they could hang up a sign to state that it wouldn't be allowed. However, something like putting on make up, or brushing your hair, or polishing your shoes a judge most likely wouldn't allow in their courtroom either, and they can't hang up a sign for everything, which is why I've previously stated that in such a situation I would have stepped outside myself, whether that's right or not. Judges LOVE playing god and proving they can make up and enforce arbitrary rules, and I have no interest in unnecessarily provoking them.
