A year in the klink? Too expensive. Why not just contract the job out to the Proud Boys?

The Supreme Court ruled in the 1989 case Texas v. Johnson that burning the American flag is a form of protected speech under the First Amendment. This decision invalidated laws prohibiting flag desecration, affirming that such acts are considered symbolic political expression.

Trump is only doing this because of the backlash he received for making it illegal to burn the Israeli flag.

I support flag burning...as long as the person burning the flag is wrapped in it first.

Supreme Court has ruled twice it is legal to burn the flag.

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

Burning the flag is one thing....causing a riot or illegal gathering is another thing. Bondi explained it. I’ll try to find the order itself.

I think burning the flag is evil, stupid, anti-American and should be legal.

I want to burn the koran in response, and I don’t want my sort of free speech to be the next sort clamped down upon.

“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.

Didn’t Biden make the Proud Boys a terrorist organization. In Portland Antifa run from them.

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.

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.
