FINGER SUIT

CLACKAMAS, Ore. (AP) - Is the middle finger protected by the
Constitution? That's what an Oregon man is asking a federal court.
Robert Ekas claims his rights were violated for flipping-off
Clackamas County deputies. The lawsuit charges he was given traffic
tickets after raising his middle finger to a deputy while driving.
Those tickets were later dismissed. A month later, Ekas says he
flipped the bird to another deputy and was detained but not
ticketed. Ekas charges he's being ha****ed. An attorney for the
county is declining to comment on the lawsuit.
