Why would a state have a law

[Ravi]

making it illegal to move a confederate flag without a super majority vote of the legislature?

Why has South Carolina give this symbol of treason and racism such power?

 

[Valerie]

excellent quest-ion!

 

[Katzndogz]

People vote.

 

[Ravi]

This is just as insane, it is illegal in some states to burn the con flag:

"Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina have specific statutes that extend to Confederate flags and symbols."

Can states really ban the burning of the Confederate flag

wtf?

State's rights...much of why the Civil War took place

 

[Valerie]

Bullshit. I have every right in the world to burn a confederate flag and states are not free to offer special protections to symbols of treachery.

Yep, looks like some assholes have actually legislated PC.

They do not have unlimited powers. Protecting a rag does not fall within the scope of their powers. Individual rights are more important than the con flag.

Tell me, SassyFrass, would you support outlawing moving or burning a gay pride flag?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

An example of state's rights....

Pence: EPA must change emissions rules or Indiana won't comply

Pence EPA must change emissions rules or Indiana won t comply

Go for it

"fold it up and put it away" - Robert E. Lee

• Fold it up and put it away.
  • When asked by a woman on what she should do with a Confederate flag after the end of the American Civil War, as quoted in "Will Confederate Heritage Advocates Take Robert E. Lee’s Advice?" (July 2014), by Brooks D. Simpson, Crossroads, WordPress.
• Madam, don't bring up your sons to detest the United States government. Recollect that we form one country now. Abandon all these local animosities, and make your sons Americans.

"The march of Providence is so slow, and our desires so impatient; the work of progress is so immense and our means of aiding it so feeble; the life of humanity is so long, that of the individual so brief, that we often see only the ebb of the advancing wave and are thus discouraged. It is history that teaches us to hope."

Ignorant nonsense.

The issue has nothing to do with 'states' rights,' no one is seeking through force of Federal law to compel a state to remove any flags.

And the role of states in the Federal system was decided and settled long before the Civil War; Article VI of the Constitution makes clear that the states are subject to Federal laws, the rulings of Federal courts, and the Constitution's case law, where Constitutional jurisprudence is the supreme law of the land, and the states have no 'right' to seek to 'ignore' or 'nullify' acts of Congress or rulings of the Supreme Court.
