The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear a case involving the constitutionality of the Confederate flag emblem on Mississippi's state flag.  A black lawyer argued that the emblem should be banned because it represented white supremacy.

But a lower court refused to hear the suit because the lawyer did not have standing to sue.  The Supreme Court issued its ruling without comment.

  2. How in the world can the Confederate flag be construed as
    unconstitutional. Actually, the Confederate flag is very
    legal as there really should have been a Southern Nation
    per the Constitution. But, the income tax IS unconstitutional.
