And not so much a national ban on local governments using it so much as whether it is generally acceptable. People aren't necessarily wanting the federal government to step in, they are wanting those municipalities to step down and stop flying it on their own. The debate is, in essence, whether a government flying the confederate flag is acceptable because of its association with local heritage or inappropriate due to its association with hate groups. Don't confuse all that with the Wal-Mart and E-bay decisions, those'll probably be lifted when national attention moved away from this issue again.
