I've been looking and I haven't found any law that states that a flag can't fly above the American flag. I did find the executive order regarding the display of flags.
It says: When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace. It also says: The flag should be displayed on all days, especially on... (insert list of federal holidays, etc. here. So if we're going by this, then I'm breaking the law right now because I'm not flying the flag, when the executive order specifically says that it should be flown on ALL DAYS. I also found this interesting tidbit: All ... details of the flag are dealt with by Executive Order. This orders is only binding on the Executive Department of the federal government. It has no binding effect on any civilian, or, for that matter, on any other department of the federal government, nor on any State governments or their subdivisions. the text of the Executive order may be seen here. Any law outlining how the flag MUST be displayed would be a violation of the 1st amendment, would it not? |

§175. Position and manner of display: © No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America, except during church services conducted by naval chaplains at sea, when the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for the personnel of the Navy. No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or any Territory or possession thereof. -------------------- ![]() |

Oh yeah.
And cmac...it's not just because it was a mexican flag... Here in austin there was a jag dealership (around 183 and lakeline) that was flying a british flag above the u.s. flag... yeah people stormed that place and had it taken down it's not so much that it's fabric but it's a representation of our country and what we are...no american is going to want another country's flag flown above our own in our own country -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good. They wake up the next day and they're on fire."
