To burn the American flag is to burn the freedom of speech.

If it didn't pass this time- GOP congress, election year, right before the 4th of July -it's never going to pass. What a shame.

It's a testament to our freedom that we allow unpopular expressions.

Correct, and nor should it. It would protect a symbol at the cost of cheapening what the symbol stands for.

Please explain how one implies the other.
