Yes, but you could chalk it up to artistic liberties. The flag isn't supposed to be worn in clothing anyways, but ever since the SCOTUS made the stupid decision to allow flag burning, the US Flag Code hasn't been followed since the SCOTUS themselves violated the law. Any expression of the flag is patriotic now since there are a lot of people who want to hide it out of disrespect.
Without getting into shit-flinging, I can see the logic of allowing flag burning as an expression of liberty and freedom of speech. There is, still, to my knowledge a lot of rules that are effectively unenforceable that prohibit the wearing of actual flags as clothing, but to my knowledge having a flag-patterned article on you is permissible even if it is a bikini.
When I looked it up, I believe the the US flag code specified not to use actual flags as clothing or else not to make clothing out of flags, and doesn't apply to flag-patterned stuff. That being said, the flag code is kind of loosely enforced anyway.
Technically you are allowed to burn the US flag, especially if it is an old or badly damaged flag. There is a proper procedure to it where, in short, the stripes are cut off one by one and finally the blue corner with all the stars is thrown into the fire last.
It most certainly is not. Read the Constitution before you spout off about what does and doesn't constitute treason. Article III, Section 3, to be specific.
We aren't talking about the crime of treason, we are talking about treason as an act. The Constitution lists the method for the state to declare treason, but one can betray a country without the recognition of the government. Sorry, but when we caught traitors in the act of aiding terrorists or other enemies of the US we didn't sit around and wait for Congress to legally determine them to be traitors, we shot them on the spot if they didn't have a use just like any other enemy personnel unless they immediately surrendered. When you burn the flag you are not expressing any opinion except the destruction of the country. That is treasonous, and again, retirement is a completely different process than just burning the flag. No, you aren't going to shoot people who burn the flags in country, since it isn't a warzone and there isn't lives at stake, but no one in their right mind can claim such an action is anything but treasonous.
Like I said, the SCOTUS ruled in violation of the law, which is why the US flag code has not been followed since. Courts in general in recent times have "legalized" a wide variety of crimes, which is why things like recreational marijuana use, illegal aliens, and gun control have been tolerated, despite objectively being against the law as written. Wither you agree or disagree with the ruling is one thing, but you cannot objectively say that such rulings are following the rule of law as written.
Okay completly disregarding the part about flags.
... Are you trying to state that once a law is written it should be unmutatable and unremovable?
