Cuomo signs bill banning sale of Confederate flags

December 15, 2020

ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a bill into law aimed at banning the sale of “hate symbols” such as the Confederate Flag or the Swastika on state property — even while admitting the new edict might clash with the First Amendment and be struck down as unconstitutional.
But Cuomo said the rule likely needs “certain technical changes” so the Empire State doesn’t get caught treading upon free speech protections codified in the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment.

“This country faces a pervasive, growing attitude of intolerance and hate — what I have referred to in the body politic as an American cancer,” Cuomo wrote in his approval message.

So will symbols of the Democrat party be banned since their history is steeped in racism?

A politician that signs a law while saying it's probably unconstitutional should be personally liable to everyone who's rights are violated.

Damn, now I have to buy one.

I’m glad someone is looking out for my feelings

So he enacts a law that he knows is unconstitutional, but just last week was deriding law enforcement for choosing not to enforce unconstitutional laws.

Hypocritical much?

To hell with the Constitution and our Rights.

Soon, they will come after all of them.

But so many are worried only about the Second one.

This is not only about one set of Flags. This is about all hate symbols, to be decided on later, after an arrest is made.

I ask, are BLM flags allowed to be sold on state property? IDK

I agree. This is too far. This is an infringement of our rights.

The second amendment was put into place because it is required to protect the first. These were the first things on the minds of our founding fathers.

I don't have a desire to express hate of anyone, but to ban my choice in the matter is treason.

Agreed on expression of hate. The way this law was written, the symbol of hate is in the eye of the beholder. Wow....

There's another thread on here about what flag to rally under. Well, while I always firmly believe in the defensive stance of:

And while I think this is probably where we're headed as a country:

The pine tree is unassuming. The continental flag is probably my choice:

In the end, we may lose the right to fly any of them.

Thank God! Somebody had to put a stop to all those Nazi flags that people have put out on their porches across the state.

A solution looking for a problem.

We all know he wants to really ban the gadsden.

Not ONLY the Second.

But without the Second, all others WILL fall.

So Little Mussolini's target was to ban the sale of flags and hateful "symbols" at the State Fair that he cancelled anyway. Typical.

A politician that signs a law while saying it's probably unconstitutional should be personally liable to everyone who's rights are violated.

And also for all associated court fees in challenging unconstitutional laws.

Something just can't put my finger on, oath or something with the constitution in it. Grounds for removal if there is any
