Does this gold fringe really signify that procedures taken there are under British rule?

The gold fringed flag is a military flag. If it is being used correctly, in a court room it indicates that the court falls under martial law. It is reasonable that the President, being Commander in Chief, should appear in front of the flag.
President, Dwight David Eisenhower, by Executive Order No.10834, signed on August 21, 1959 and printed in the Federal Register at 24 F.R. 6865, pursuant to law, stated that: "A military flag is a flag that resembles the regular flag of the United States, except that it has a Yellow Fringe border on three sides."

The fact that your seeing the president in front of the flag with gold fringe is disturbing, as it is a military flag, but the president is also the commander in chief. What is really disturbing is the fact that you, and others, including myself, are seeing that flag in courtrooms, where it does not belong for any reason, as it signals that the court in question is under military jurisdiction. For those that think the fringe is just a decoration, think again, symbolism is very important to all of us. A military jurisdiction flag in a civilian courtroom implies that the court in question is not required to adhere to the laws of the state or the constitution when "handing down" it's decisions. This leads to abuses of power that can later be denied because while you may claim you had rights in court that were violated, the court in question could feasible, remind you that you said and did things in that court that while it was under that flag can be used against you in ways they could not in a legitimate civil court.

MILITARY FLAG WITH THE GOLD FRINGE
Martial Law Flag "Pursuant to 4 U.S.C. chapter 1, §§1, 2, & 3; Executive Order 10834, August 21, 1959; 24 F.R.6865; a military flag is a flag that resembles the regular flag of the United States, except that it has a YELLOW FRINGE border on three sides. The President of the United States designates this deviation from the regular flag, by executive order, and in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief of the military. The placing of a fringe on the national flag, the dimensions of the flag and the arrangement of the stars in the union are matters of detail not controlled by statute, but are within the discretion of the President as Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy." 34 Ops. Atty. Gen. 83.

That is a maritime flag.........
A Maritime flag or Naval Jack is a national flag used exclusively on boats and other watercraft. Most are based on the traditional state flag, but with notable stylistic modifications.
Flags are very important at sea, where they can mean the difference between life and death, and consequently the rules and regulations for the flying of flags are strictly enforced.
National flag
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A national flag is a flag that symbolises a country and that can usually be flown by citizens of that country.
Both public and private buildings such as schools and courthouses often fly the national flag. In some countries, the national flags are only flown from non-military buildings on certain flag days.
There are three distinct types of national flag for use on land, and three for use at sea, although many countries use identical designs for several (and sometimes all) of these types of flag.

No, Th gold Fringe may have meant that, but it doesn't anymore, especially not in America. All the gold fringe is now is decoration for a more formal look.

In the military I was taught that the flag, has no fringe, but a "color" does. According to FM 22-5 you don't salute the flag as you pass by, but you do salute colors. As to that other stuff, you watch too much King of the Hill.

No. It's common in this country. The US flag in my Dojang (Martial Arts school) has a gold fringe.
