It's a supreme court ruling not an article, and those are direct quotes. It is literally what it says.

The part that summarizes survey results? I am not sure what relevance the status quo before the ruling has on anything.

But even in that section, it agrees with what I quoted and how I summarized it:

> local governments that fly third-party flags frequently reject requests to do so

[...]

The way I'm reading it, it affirms that local governments can basically do whatever they want. What's the list of requirements the SC is putting on local gov?

The person you are arguing with is not focused on the facts you are presenting.

I'm not even trying to argue, I'm pulling teeth just trying to get them to explain themselves

That is clear to the rest of us. I would have backed quickly away long ago! You tried, though. Your responses made it clearer to me what the SC decision actually says (that is also relevant in this instance).

Yeah I have the tendency to drag things out to allow others the space to make fools of themselves...

It's probably neither helpful nor healthy, but I sure enjoy it.
