John Trasvina needs to get a job as a Supreme Court Justice before he claims the new Law to be Unconstitutional.

One would think the President and General Counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund would understand such, but seeing how he has Officially put Mexico before America perhaps he does not know much about American Law and the US Constitution.... perhaps he is thinking about the Mexican Constitution.
Regardless, I look forward to seeing the outcome of the Case, once the Case does make its way before the real United States Supreme Court for Judgment.

Thats putting restrictions on Free Speech, and thats a constitution no-no. Rabs is right, I seriously doubt that this will be upheld.

I get this question a lot. I am from NYC. I fly a French flag because I work for the Paris Office of a International company.

Pahrump is 100% ass kicking city. They are home to Frontsight. Frontsight is a tactical wepaons course that has had students such as US Navy Seals, FBI HRT, LAPD SWAT, and me.

It's my kind of town. It does not restrict the 1st Amendment. All it says is that if you wish to fly another country's flag. You have to fly the AMerican Flag also.

I do that. I fly my 13 star US Flag, below that on a seperate pole is a Cuban flag. As for the 13 star flag. That's y little way of protsting to the current federal government.

States' Rights!

Well, I view flying a United States Flag with only 13 Stars in protest of the United States Government as no different than someone taking a United States Flag with the correct amount of Stars and setting it on fire in protest of the United States Government.

And Gator is making more friends I see.

Gator you're talking to a man who is a combat vet, did your job in Afghanistan without any training ( ) and is now a copper in the fine state whose moniker you have lifted. Instead of pissing on everyone, why not take the time to get to know some people better before you write them off.

I've just gotta love them thar Pahrumpians. What a change to see a town where the people tell it like it is.

What a country, where "do gooders" tell you you cannot upset those who pay the ultimate disrespect to the country in which they are residing. Sheeesh, sometimes I wonder how the world got ahead before all this political correctness.

And how does that make his opinion any more valid than anyone elses?

As I understand it this thread isn't about operations in Afghanistan so his "expertise" is not really relevant and we already know by hie own admission that he is the sort of policeman that upholds the laws he sees as fit to recognise.

Also given our previous discussions on the relevance of judging peoples posts by their profile which is pretty much your MO I find it somewhat hypocritical to be recommending that people "take the time to get to know some people better before you write them off."

Incidently is a 13 star flag considered an official "American flag"?

See this is your problem you just lack credibility, rather than showing maturity and coming up with an intelligent response you come up with this rather childish response.

I am sure you can see why many see your posts as being little more than efforts to raise a post count, you rarely answer a question and tend towards inane responses (such as the one above) to counter the lack of one and when that fails you start threatening people (as if thats going to work).

As far as reading Padre's post I have to admit I only skimmed it but then I rarely take much notice of the guy as he seems to still be fighting the crusades and has a strange affinity for sheep (seriously how many people have sheep pictures on a computer).
