I thought that laws banning "desecration" of the US Flag had been ruled unconstitutional? Or at least ruled as inapplicable with respect to the desecration being done as a deliberate act of protest (as opposed to neglect).

TITLE 4--FLAG AND SEAL, SEAT OF GOVERNMENT, AND THE STATES

CHAPTER 1--THE FLAG

Sec. 8. Respect for flag

No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America...(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature...The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing.

Perhaps you missed it the first time Chummy posted it?
