This issue should worry all Americans. Are we drifting toward a point where dissent is prohibited by law?
I am not going along with the statists on this issue. A lot of other Americans are quite wary of the implications of this zeal, as well. If you don't mind raising the hackles of a large number of freedom-loving Americans, then by all means continue to try to use the Constitution as a vehicle for the suppression of liberty.
That would set a new precedent as well.
...the only new precedent set was disregarding the fighting words doctrine that once applied to flag burning, up until the zaniness of the mid-eighties when we learned that a graduation prayer was unamerican and flag burning was constitionally protected. There is not a shred of evidence that indicates any founding father would have considered flag burning or sodomy as protected rights.
