@chrisgeidner barring it from nps cemeteries is pretty clearly unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination, I'd think -
@nycsouthpaw "... ban the use of federal funds for displaying the Confederate flag on federal lands." I've not seen the actual language. -
@nycsouthpaw So, looks like Spending Clause stuff somehow. -
@chrisgeidner oh gotcha, so taxpayers have been paying to decorate graves w flags of the rebellion. jeez. -
@nycsouthpaw I've not done research in accord with my usual pre-pontificating investigation, so I ~prolly~ shouldn't be opining. -
