Burning an American flag that you own as a form of freedom of speech. A flag is a piece of fabric that symbolizes a nation or group. It may enrage or sadden me to watch someone burn our flag but what about if I decided to burn an effigy of Clinton or the Iranian flag? My purpose would be to enrage others or vent my anger but do I have the right to such speech?
We can hopefully expect Roberts to use sober reasoning and a good conscience when he hears cases but we can never truly predict the outcome of a case.
My thoughts exactly. Scalia, with his deep incisive reasoning, has taught us all (meaning everyone across the political spectrum) a few things in surprising ways.
Let's hope Roberts goes in the same vein.
Those would be leaders must be magnanimous, not small.
For example: It would be small to see a leftist being robbed and raped and a conservative not do anything to defend such a one.
The same is true in the courts. Socialists and conservatives (read Constitutionalists) both deserve protection, it should matter not who's C rights are under attack. We should fight the battle equally. If the leftist loses their rights, we will lose ours as well.
