I think potential jurors should be asked whether they display Confederate flags or representations of Confederate flags such as flags themselves, flag decals, bumper stickers, tattoos or other visual display.
I think if a person demonstrably identifies with material objects an identification with the Confederacy, a nation created for white supremacy, then I think that juror can be excluded with cause from a jury.
I think this is important since there are many people who have a strong identification with the Confederacy but aren't members of a neo-Confederate organization.
