Yes, but only because the Supreme Court ruled that there’s no way to enforce the Flag Code without violating the First Amendment, a part of the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. That’s not the usual case for laws that are on the books.
- eesmith 8y agoThank you for agreeing with me that cabaalis' statement that "all laws are enforced by violence" is incorrect. I would agree with "most". I disagree with "all". Here's a couple others: 38 CFR 38.630 - Headstones and markers. - "VA will furnish, when requested, a memorial headstone or marker to commemorate an eligible individual whose remains are unavailable." - https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/38/38.630 https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/38/38.630 Who is threatened with violence for breaking that law? At most, a VA employee can be fired, yes? 36 U.S. Code § 106 - Constitution Day and Citizenship Day - https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/36/106 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/36/106 That's another completely voluntary law ("are urged"), and the Supreme Court didn't get involved.
