What point would that be? That you, like your brother, can spin the issue and change the subject to give the appearance that you are correct? Well, you aren't. You do understand that most state laws started out as federal laws and were later turned over to the states' jurisdiction? Things like the speed limit--which was my example because it's one that anyone could understand--was a federally mandated limit and was turned over to the states in 1995.
Read both links below, from official US Government websites and not from wikipedia. You're arguing states rights vs. congressional authorities. What in the hell are you talking about? Surely you and guiss can come up with something a little better. Let me boil down the whole argument, about which I am 100% correct, by the way:
1.
Obama is a jackass for not following the prescribed customs and courtesies associated with the US Flag and playing of the National Anthem. The second link below is a US Senate document that explains the C&C associated with the national flag and anthem. You'd think, as a member of the Senate, that he could abide by them.
2.
The C&C for conduct during the playing of the anthem was mandated by Congress in 1942 and was codified under Title 36 of the US Code. It is not mandated by the states, as you claim it should be.
And Congress OBVIOUSLY has the Constitutional authority to pass such laws, or someone would have found this to be unconstitutional.
3.
Civilians CANNOT be punished for not following the prescribed C&C. They can be punished under state law for misuse/desecration of the flag if deemed disrespectful, but not for acting like a jackass during the anthem. They can, however, be reserving a place in line for themselves at the end of someone's fist.
Now, read the below links and then read the above 3 points. Next, go back through any of my posts and find where I've said anything different. I'm done with another one of you.
