Title: Trump denounces flag burning

Although the Supreme Court has declared flag burning to be a constitutionally protected form of free speech, Donald Trump said Tuesday he still wants to make the practice illegal.

"Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag," the president-elect tweeted Tuesday. "If they do, there must be consequences — perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail!"

It's not known what inspired Trump's condemnation of flag burning, or whether he will call on Congress to attempt a new law banning it.

While the Supreme Court has upheld flag burning, Trump will have at least one appointment to that body and has a chance to alter the court's ideological direction.

Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag - if they do, there must be consequences - perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail!

"Donald Trump said Tuesday he still wants to make the practice illegal."

Let's keep flag burning legal, but not prosecute anyone who takes action against the flag burner. We avoid a constitutional conflict, free speech is protected (on all sides), and it provides a "teaching moment" -- Actions Have Consequences.

"Is flag burner burning free speech?"

Yes it is.

And even though some may object -- especially the flag burner -- we must remember that ALL speech is protected, even speech with which we disagree.

Unreal - apparently you two fascists don't see the difference between physically harming a person and making a statement by burning a piece of cloth.

So "freedom of speech" to you is to set fire to those whose speech offends you?

Bizarre!

But you do see a difference, right? Just like there's a difference between physically harming a person and simply saying words.

Some redneck can walk up to a black guy and call him a nigger and the black guy can't harm him, right? There's a difference between words and hitting, right?

If he did hit him and it went to court, would the judge see a difference between the two acts?

Yeah. Right. Kiss my ass with your "difference".

"Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire"

" ... and the insulting or "fighting" words those which by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace."

Burning the American flag in public sure fits that definition.

And if the USSC refuses to apply its doctrine to flag burning, then Congress may require the Court to do so. Article 3, Section 2, Clause 2.
