The 31 stars mean that California was the 31st state. It's a Historical fact which cannot be changed. So a seal with 32 stars is not the proper seal. Minnesota is the 32nd state.
No, I don't think doing it at a real courthouse in a real courtroom constitutes entrapment so long as the proceedings are clearly not official in nature. The state seal makes everything official government business, from documents to letterheads to courtrooms. A fake seal renders these things invalid. There was another fake seal in the last 2 years as I recall, DC perhaps? Off the top of my head I don't remember which document but it was also something obviously inaccurate about the seal. It was CA also.(edited to add: what I'm trying to say is that a state seal is like a government signature. A falsified signature renders a document, transaction, or agreement invalid. Forging a signature is done with the goal of being an exact replica, ie performed with the intent to deceive. In this case, the incorrect seal is not fraudulent because this replica is clearly and obviously not the same... visible by anyone who cares to notice.)
OMG! OMIGOD OMIGOD...out of curiousity, I googled what the Minnesota seal stood for. Read this! (look at the bold part)It depicts a barefoot farmer plowing his field near St. Anthony Falls on the Mississippi River. His axe is driven into a tree trunk, with his rifle and powderhorn nearby.[dot] An Indian on horseback rides south, a summer setting sun in the background. The state motto, "L'Etoile du Nord", or "Star of the North", appears on a banner above the scenery. [/dot] Around these images is the outermost ring, which reads "The Great Seal of the State of Minnesota". The bottom of the outer ring contains the date 1858, which is when Minnesota gained statehood. Now call me overenthusiastic...or maybe someone has already figured this out. The man on horseback..rides south...a summer setting sun in the background..which symbolizes how we all first felt and have felt regarding the possibility of MJ being gone...dead...the sun sets - darkness falls..BUT LOOK...night appears and the STAR OF THE NORTH...the same star that in biblical times, gave a lightened PATH TO BETHLEHEM... where the mystery would unfold, where the new leader would be born...Now I'm not saying MJ is Jesus...I'm just saying the symbolism could be a message...or else the fake California Seal could easily have been 30 stars instead of 32. Maybe there was a reason Minnesota was chosen to be the FAKE number of stars for the California Seal...maybe it was that message in the picture of the Minnesota seal...the NORHTERN STAR that shines brightly to lead us to the news... the truth...the upcoming event!Sound crazy? Sorry...
