Some parts of the law are stated to be custom or advisory i.e. "should be". Some like the section I quoted are mandatory i.e. "shall".
@Mott-The-Hoople saidThe United States Code is a consolidation and codification by subject matter of the general and permanent laws of the United States. It is prepared by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel of the United States House of Representatives.

https://uscode.house.gov/
The United States Code (formally the Code of Laws of the United States of America) is the official codification of the general and permanent federal statutes of the United States. It contains 53 titles, which are organized into numbered sections.
The U.S. Code is published by the U.S. House of Representatives' Office of the Law Revision Counsel. New editions are published every six years, with cumulative supplements issued each year. The official version of these laws appears in the United States Statutes at Large, a chronological, uncodified compilation.

US vs Eichman
@Mott-The-Hoople saidThat case only decided that a law against flag desecration was a violation of the Free Speech clause of the 1st Amendment.
nothing is mandatory by law
US vs Eichman
It hardly says "nothing is mandatory by law".
@Mott-The-Hoople saidThose are definitely the words of a spoiled, whiny, rich kid. Rules have always been malleable for them.

It's the Porsche owner who tells the officer "are you sure I was speeding?"
It's the trust fund kid getting his parents to complain to his teacher about his grades.
You know the type. Trump had his people calling state governors telling them he deserves a full flag? How childish.

The Flag Code is a statute passed by Congress i.e. a law. Some of its provisions are not mandatory, some like the one I cited are (that's what "shall" in a law means). It's true Congress didn't affix any penalties to the Flag Code, but that doesn't make it any less of a law.

@Mott-The-Hoople saidNo, they ruled a portion which made flag desecration illegal unconstitutional. That doesn't invalidate an entire law.
and scotus ruled it unconstitutional
EDIT: Sorry, I gave you too much credit. US v. Eichman struck down a totally different law called the Flag Protection Act.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_Protection_Act

Yes, it is sad that Hunter got bailed out by his rich daddy. What he did was AGAINST THE LAW!

Im already bored of the hurt egos over dumb s*** like this. Imagine how many hours of time state governments all spent fielding Trump's phone calls? About flag height?
