Flag-burning amendment heads to Senate floor - Yahoo! News:

"You can't shout 'fire' in a crowded theater. There's restrictions on everything," said Richard Pedro, an adjutant with the American Legion of New York who observed the committee debate.

Public safety and freedom of expression for the purposes of redressing grievences are hardly comparable.

And yeah, "there are restrictions on everything", but that doesn't mean we should encourage increasing those restrictions.

Asswipe.  You are a disgrace to the Constitution your fellow veterans fought to protect.

Anything to rile the base, and distract from all those flags coming back draped over coffins . . .
