(Now let’s see who gets to decide what constitutes a “hate crime” (like burning a rainbow flag is).)

Bingo!

“Notwithstanding the Supreme Court’s rulings on First Amendment protections, the Court has never held that American Flag desecration conducted in a manner that is likely to incite imminent lawless action or that is an action amounting to “fighting words” is constitutionally protected. See Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397, 408-10 (1989).”

under certain circumstances

Every few years Republicans try to pass this as a law and courts always shoot it down. I don’t like to see it but burning the flag (any flag) should be considered free speech. Making it a hate crime is stupid since the idea of hate crime is stupid.

Bingo. The Communists use "hate crimes" to control the population.

If one can burn an American Flag according to the Supreme Court, they can burn ANY flag, including the Sodomy Flag.

The order the Republican president signed in the Oval Office acknowledged the court’s 5-4 ruling in a case from Texas in 1989, but said there is still room to prosecute flag burning if it “is likely to incite imminent lawless action” or amounts to “fighting words.”

“You burn a flag, you get one year in jail. You don’t get 10 years, you don’t get one month,” Trump said. “You get one year in jail, and it goes on your record, and you will see flag burning stopping immediately.”

The order also called for Attorney General Pam Bondi to pursue litigation to challenge the 1989 ruling, an attempt by Trump to get the issue back in front of the Supreme Court. Today’s Supreme Court is much more conservative than the makeup of the court in 1989 and includes three judges Trump appointed in his first term.


Trump stirring the pot but also maybe bring back to the supreme court. Shining the light on the issue in the meantime reveals cockroach’s. All for shining the light.

Having wall to wall coverage of DEMOCRATS burning the AMERICAN flag—the midterm commercials will write themselves. It will be like shoving a T-bone in the face of a whacked out vegan. Remember the dude riding the motorcycle waving the mexican flag? That resonated with Patriots and made the democrats look like asses, and worse. Bravo PRESIDENT TRUMP, show the world that the democrats hate America, and that they piss on every Veteran.

Quite frankly I do not care what SCOTUS ruled. They were wrong. It should be illegal and punishable with fines and jail time to burn our flag, the very symbol of our country. You also should not be able to desecrate it in any way including putting it on the seat of your pants,etc.

Free speech has limitations. This should be one of them.

It’s hate speech! A felony! Try burning a LGBT flag and see what they do to you.

But a lot of folks around here are like six year olds: If the SCOTUS makes a ruling they don’t like they cry like little babies. This EO means nothing.

So Trump is making law through executive fiat?

Not only is he making the law, he is acting as the sentencing judge too?

Cool. Why bother with three branches of Government? We have Trump.

I am wondering if this is a ploy by Trump to get this to the Supreme Court.

If they rule burning flags is free speach, then burning ANY flags has to be free speach, not, just the American Flag.

The people said how can you make it illegal to burn the Israeli flag when it’s legal to burn the American flag?

Oh, some people said? Not Trump then. Sounds somewhat strange to attribute it to Trump.

In fact what happened is that the judge decided that attacking the Star of David is racial discrimination. So burning the Israeli flag is an act of racial bigotry.

Interesting, that is what the media is saying. Did youi say the something about zero, and Clinton and Biden? or is the problem just trump?

The issue needs to be kept in the public eye, it is a distraction for the liberals. Of course it will be challenged and should but that sets precedence. If lose, it stops all the crap from the liberals whose eo were never challenged. If win, that is MAGA.

YOu need to look at things from higher ground.
