Burning a flag is speech, it's stupid speech, but it's speech. And it's even political stupid speech, which is exactly what the First Ammendment is supposed to be protecting. This new ammendment is an abomination against everything this country stands for.

Agreed. I served in the Military and as much as it sickens me to see someone burning a flag it is not something that warrants an amendment to the constitution. What are we going to do next, outlaw burning effigies of Presidents.
This is just silly. I think Gay marriage is more dangerous to our country than this.

Agreed...As disrespectful as it is, the flag stands for freedom - and freedom to burn the flag if you choose to. Being more concerned with the symbol, rather than what it stands for is what is wrong with this whole picture.

Burning a flag is NOT speech. It is an ACT.
