Dueling quotes:

"I support federal legislation that would outlaw flag desecration, much like laws that currently prohibit the burning of crosses, but I don't believe a constitutional amendment is the answer."

Hillary Clinton, July 2005


“I favor protection of the flag, but I do not favor a constitutional amendment. A constitutional amendment should be passed only in very rare circumstances... I do believe the flag ought to be protected, I don’t think you should amend the (U.S.) Constitution without a deep purpose. Protecting the flag is certainly a deep purpose, but I don’t believe you can amend the Constitution for that.”

Howard Dean, January 2002
