LOL, no what's unconstitutional is almost everything your boss is doing in the White House. An ordinance prohibiting thuglets from forcing the rest of us to look at their ugly, unclean, sweaty aszcracks is not unconstitutional.

Let's review:

CONSTITUTIONAL = reasonable restrictions on public conduct like this ordinance

UNCONSTITUTIONAL = forcing people to purchase insurance, data-mining the entire country's telephone metadata, wiretapping the AP's phone lines; swearing out an affidavit about James Rosen that says he's a criminal co-conspirator; running automatic weapons to the leaders of Mexican drug cartels; using the IRS to target people because of their political opinions; and almost anything else Barack Obama and Eric Holder do.

Are we clear yet?

The government in an effort to restrict speech rights must have a compelling governmental interest.
I find it hilarious that you claim the constitution limits government power in this regard, yet you have never one time uttered a word of criticism for the federal government and its absolute TRASHING of the Constitutional limitations you're talking about.

I guess when your guy does it, it's OK.

As much as I would love to see sagging pants banned, it is unconstitutional. People have the right to wear them. I just hate that style.

If the sagging borders on indecent exposure(exposing undergarments), then I would not mind.

If they're claiming indecent exposure that should include women too.

I don't think this is much different than a law banning nudity.

The only travesty here is that such a law is even necessary in the first place.

I assume you think a federal law where everyone dresses the same would work & penalize anyone who disobeys.

Does anyone want to address why there are dress codes in PUBLIC court rooms? Any takers? Is that also unconstitutional in your eyes?

Courtrooms are government buildings.
