New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo Bans Sale of Confederate Flags, Despite Knowing This Has First Amendment Problems

So no vintage models, toys, or photos of the General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard then?

[a fool in paradise]

And he will use YOUR tax dollars to defend HIS unconstitutional law.

[unixfox]

Yet burning a Black Lives Matter flag is considered a “Hate Crime.”

[BlackAdderess]

Don’t pay any attention to that woman claiming sexual harassment, look at me! Wouldn’t I make a fabulous Attorney General?! Don’t look at her... LOOK AT ME, DAMNIT!

[glennaro]

There's a real competition among the governors as to who is the biggest tyrant in America.

This has become a full-out cat-fight between tyrant Newsom in California and tyrant Cuomo in New York and tyrant Whitmer in Michigan as to which of these vile politicians (forgive the redundancy) can cause the most harm -- the most psychological and physical agony and the most financial pain -- to American citizens living in their states; who can do the most damage to their economy; and who can best destroy the social fabric through their unilateral, non-negotiated restrictions on how people live their lives.

Unconstitutional- it won’t stand...

oh wait...

[Ciaphas Cain]

LOVE your screen name!

[doc maverick]

Is he also BANNIG ANTIFA/BLM FLAGS?
You know the burn loot murder gang?
Of course he isn’t, Cuomos are COW DUNG.

They should be held personally liable with severe court sanction available when they violate our rights.

I'm good with the death penalty when they violate their oath. Aside from that, make 'em get a real job. No more public sector work for them. Ever. Not even dog catcher.

How am I going to supply my army?

[Ciaphas Cain]

You left out Cooper in North Carolina.

[Midwesterner53]

Crime is out of control in his cities and he is worried about Confederate flags. He really is stupid. And worry about the black clinched fist flag and the love that brings?

[FreeReign]

Of course no ban on Communist or ISIS related stuff I assume.

And Cuomo is not for a ban on burning the American flag.

[mass55th]

He considers the Supreme Court irrelevant when it comes to the First Amendment. He’s said so himself.

[glennaro]

Oh, he (and several others) are definitely competitors, but Newsom and Cuomo have the edge because they have tens of millions more American citizens they can hurt and terrorize and much larger economies they can destroy than those tyrants in the less populated states.

I mean, tyrant Newom has nearly 40,000,000 lives he can disrupt (if not hurt or even kill ... as he has already done).

These tyrants aren't going to stop on their own ... they have a real taste of controlling peoples' very lives and they're enjoying -- truly relishing in the "sport" of doing just that for as long as they possibly can ... for as long as American citizens allow them to.

[Truth29]

I’’ll bet the hammer and sickle is just fine with him

[reg45]

And Prickster in Illinois. And the Klansman wannabe in Virginia.

[Skywise]

Cool - can we ban the sale of BLM products and organizations as they’re a hate group?

[shanover]

FUAC!

This POS is not worth anyone's time on our side.

[reg45]

“... the fear-installing effects of these abhorrent symbols.”

Like Cuomo’s face.
