The public use of profanity certainly can and should be regulated by LOCAL government if that is what the local population votes for.

Local governments have limits on their authority to regulate profanity (see post #97). The judge ruled correctly in this case.

The constitution is a limitation on federal power, not state power:

Constitutional Law is based on a formal document that defines broad powers. Federal constitutional law originates from the U.S. constitution. State constitutional law originates from the individual state constitutions.

Statutes and Ordinances are legislation passed on the federal, state, or local levels.

The US constitution had no jurisdiction and was irrelevant to Ms. Herb's case and it is important for you to understand that.
