"As a staunch conservative, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia says he doesn’t carry any deep affection for “bearded, sandal-wearing weirdos” who choose to express their First Amendment rights by burning the American flag.

However, as an originalist – one who interprets the U.S. Constitution based on the meaning it held when it was originally adopted more than 200 years ago -- burning the American flag is a protected right, Scalia told more than 1,200 people at William and Mary Hall.

“It’s protected by the First Amendment,” said Scalia, explaining why he joined the high court’s majority in the opinion that flag burning is a protected form of political expression. “If you play the old way, you often have to reach decisions you don’t enjoy.”"
