First Amendment rights in the US extend to trampling the flag on the ground, in the mud, and even setting it afire. I am personally so offended by that particular ensemble that I'd like to tear it off...if she's willing.  Naughty

Yes, there is a law against using your flag as wearing apparel. Just because the law is frequently broken and never enforced doesn’t make it less of a law.

Um..

No.

You are confusing etiquite with codified law.

....

It is absolutely NOT illegal to wear clothing with a US flag print.

From the first paragraph:

Quote:This is a US federal law.

Sixth bullet point in the article:

Quote:The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding or drapery.

In other words, flag swimsuits are technically illegal, but it doesn’t really matter.

How about US title 4, chapter 1, section 8 respect for the flag?
