I feel like wearing a shirt critical of Trump and walking past the reflecting pool right now might be an effective way to bait a federal thug into doing something you could sue the government over.
IANAL, but it’s a hypothetical (and a joke). If you get charged with vandalizing the pool or beaten for no other reason than wearing a shirt, you could probably win that lawsuit. There’s a lot of things they could do to ‘punish’ you that you couldn’t win a lawsuit over, like detaining.
4 cops saw you “pouring a liquid into the pool”.
Their witness accounts don’t match up and 3 of them were on the other side of the city at the time, but the judge believes them anyway.

Sue and lose.

The Federal government has to allow you to sue them. Soverign Immunity is what it’s called, and it applies to most countries in some form.
