The word "should" gets used repeatedly in that code and there's no guideline on what the punishment is for not standing. So no, he's not 'technically correct'. If he were 'technically correct', it would also be against the law to slouch during the anthem, to not remove your hat, to not place your hand over your heart, to face the wrong direction, or to use your left hand by mistake.

Furthermore the SC, as you know, has ruled that burning the flag is protected speech (Scalia agreed). I hardly think it was therefore intended that not standing for the anthem is a criminal act.

You have to stand when you burn it.


THINK ON IT!

Damn solid point. But do you hold it in your right or your left hand when burning? Your answer could determine whether Deputy Fife locks you up in the pokey overnight or not.

You have to hold it in your left hand. No way would the right one burn the flag.

wouldn't withstand a SCOTUS challenge, but there it is.

Did you read the article? Two professors explained why he is full of shit.

And Roy Moore lecturing anyone about the need for the rule of law is laughable.

Pat Tiberi (R-OH) is resigning. He's one of the most important Republicans who'd be writing any tax reform legislation. He also out-performed Trump in his district by double digits.

“In the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.”

“It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.”
