Banning flag burning is a bad idea. Any law is in some way about restricting freedom, as those unnamed freedoms in our documents are ours to being with. As for it being "freedom Republican style," I dunno--Is abortion the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness democrat style?

Wrong. Number one, voters won't see this as unacceptable politics. If voters do not get outraged over the Democrats blocking judicial nominations, they're not going to care about this. Number two, showing where politicians stand is a serious business of Congress in an election year.
