I’m with Scalia too. I’m a big free speech guy. I would never disgrace the flag in anyway and find those that do abhorrent but protections of speech and conscience are more important.
One of the many principles represented by our flag is the right of political dissent without government retribution, otherwise known as Free Speech. A right so important to a free nation it was included in the First Amendment.
How can we support a law infringing upon that right? We would be supporting the same thing the left has done with the Religious Clause.
No thank you.
I agree with you. It’s also free speech to beat the snot out of someone who is desecrating the flag you we love and honor.
I propose that there be a penalty of said beat down. $15 fine. Suspended.
