What's more important...protecting our first amendment right to free expression or protecting the 'symbol' of our country, the flag? GW Bush said we were attacked on 9/11 because "They hate our freedoms -- our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other". Isn't making flag burning as an expression of protest illegal exactly what 'they' want? Should we make it illegal to mock the President or use the Presidential Seal on late night comedy shows? How about burning a copy of the Constitution? Personally that would offend me much more than flag burning. Should burning a picture of Ronald Reagan be made illegal? Maybe while they are at it they should ban flying the Confederate flag.
The Bill of Rights were added to the Constitution to protect our freedoms. How come recent proposed amendments to the Constitution are all about taking away rights? This is truly a slippery slope.
