While anyone who burns the US flag should immediately be deported (obviously they hate America), this is not the issue for our Congress to be wasting time on. The right is pandering to us for failing to do anything else substantial, particularly with immigration.
I don't think we need a flag burning amendment. We should have an ammendment that allows someone to kick the ass of a flag burner without being prosecuted for assault. That way everybody wins.
The 89 Supreme Court ruling would make that illegal. They forced the need for an Amendment.
