Rather than make (non-disposal) flag-burning illegal, how about giving flag-burners a one-way ticket to the country of their choice? After all, the flag is symbolic of the Pledge of Allegiance. Once allegiance is gone, so goes citizenship. If we can't deport them elsewhere, what say we set aside a state for them to enjoy where they can burn flags to their heart's content, but without the benefits of citizenship? Works for me.
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation under God, indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all.

The national flag is not in the Constitution. There is some question of what the flag actually is in appearance and which version is oficially in use.
