23. I hate to propose this comparison, BUT what if the Bush admin wanted to prosecute flag burners

Edited on Sun Sep-12-10 09:55 PM by The Northerner

or people who desecrated the US flag during anti-war demonstrations in 2003?

Should they have been stopped from or prosecuted for destroying their own flags?

I find it despicable that anyone would want to desecrate a Quran or flag BUT does the 1st Amendment not guarantee them the right to free speech?

Was the SCOTUS case of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas v. Johnson">Texas v. Johnson decided wrongly?
