IMPORTANT: Does a woman have the right to have a replica of a man’s nuts hanging from her truck?
This is a complex Constitutional question.
Some people are just not getting the humor in this.
HOT AIR: You can keep ObamaCare, the Commerce Clause, and the Tenth Amendment. As far as I’m concerned, truck nuts are the only constitutional game in town.
Threshold question: If it’s okay to ban these things as indecent symbols of American culture at its seediest, can we also ban The Waffle House?
On July 5, Virginia Tice, 65, from Bonneau, S.C. pulled her pickup truck into a local gas station with red, fake testicles dangling from the trailer hitch. The town’s police chief, Franco Fuda, pulled up and asked her to remove the plastic testicles.
When she refused, he wrote her a $445 ticket saying that she violated South Carolina’s obscene bumper sticker law.
The South Carolina code of laws reads, “a sticker, decal, emblem, or device is indecent … in a patently offensive way, as determined by contemporary community standards, sexual acts, excretory functions, or parts of the human body.”…
[Tice's lawyer] will argue whether these large, red, plastic testicles are “really an accurate depiction of a human body part.”

While it may be in poor taste, she has the right to display them. It is no different then a man display naked women or the rebel flag from a vehicle. I find the rebel flag more offenseive than this item. Freedom of expression. I truly think we have more pressing matters to contend with than what people are hanging on their vehicles.
She has a constitutional right to display them and if they offend me (and they do) I have the constitutional right to not look at them. I have seen teenagers and I might add some adults dressed in ways that are far more revolting than this woman’s questionable “statement” hanging from the bumper of her vehicle.
