“Rules are rules——you don’t like them go elsewhere.”
The HOA laws cannot supercede the 2005 Federal law permitting the display of the U.S. Flag, and the dispute is over the question of whether or not the Betsey Ross Flag with 13 Stars and 13 Stripes qualifies as a U.S. Flag protected by the 2005 Federal law.
This guy should be careful before he makes a Federal case out of this sort of idiocy. That entire 2005 Federal law may not stand up to constitutional scrutiny.
David Renner should research the laws he’s citing before relying on them.
The Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005 specifies that the protected flag in this case is the flag referred to in Title 4 of the U.S. Code. That flag is the current 13-stripe 50-star flag of the United States.
Renner is SOL.
