"If I were king, I would not allow people to go around burning the American flag" [View all]
"If I were king, I would not allow people to go around burning the American flag," he said. "However, we have a First Amendment, which says that the right of free speech shall not be abridged — and it is addressed in particular to speech critical of the government. That was the main kind of speech that tyrants would seek to suppress."
-Antonin Scalia, 2012
