Instead of outlawing flag burning, maybe we should amend the constitution to prohibit the prosecution of anyone who does violence to someone for burning the flag.
the constitution doesn’t prohibit violence on another person. The states do that.
Can you give us the language of your proposed amendment so we can mull it over for the convention?

Now we’re talking. When I see it, intellectualizing the situation isn’t my 1st reaction. Thank God I’ve never seen anyone do that in person. I’m not sure my usual restraint—”bite the inside of my cheek and remind myself that there are those that rely on me not being in jail”— would hold.
