Beats me! Kings, judges, special prosecutors, officers and teachers are very good at telling what people are thinking, and as Blue has pointed out, only speech not action is protected. Who can refute a sneer? This guy, Private M------ USMC was sentenced to the Philadelphia Brig for silent contempt in 1958. All of the brig guards broke up at the charges (we had guys imprisoned for really serious crimes like transvestism, adultery and shagging the Captain's daughter.) They had him stand with his mattress pad and blankets and all his crap weighing down his arms while they teased him -- "Show us some silent contempt!" He did a lousy job. Just looked very young and scared. So they beat him up with ax handles. I never found out what silent contempt looks like. I'm sure the imprisonment did him worlds of good.
