New Trump issue.

Quote:
The Supreme Court's decision in Texas v. Johnson in 1989 established that the right to express oneself through symbolic acts like flag burning is more fundamental than the protection of national symbols.

Quote:
"If it were up to me, I would put in jail every sandal-wearing, scruffy-bearded weirdo who burns the American flag," Scalia said. "But I am not king." Justice Antonio Scalia.

He voted that flag burning is allowed free speech.

End of issue. Except for watching Donald Trump try to abuse power.

Except for watching Donald Trump try to abuse power. It's a head-fake. One to get low-IQ lefties riled up as keeping them riled up is good for Trump. Second to get rid of laws against burning pride flags. Lefties walking right into it. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength

My goodness, do you EVER do any research? Did you actually read President Trump’s ”Executive Order” concerning flag burning? Obviously NOT.

Here are some quotes from the order (emphasis mine):

Quote:
Notwithstanding the Supreme Court’s rulings on First Amendment protections, the Court has never held that American Flag desecration conducted in a manner that is likely to incite imminent lawless action or that is an action amounting to “fighting words” is constitutionally protected. See Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397, 408-10 (1989).

President Trump understands the Supreme Court rulings.

Quote:
a) The Attorney General shall prioritize the enforcement to the fullest extent possible of our Nation’s criminal and civil laws against acts of American Flag desecration that violate applicable, content-neutral laws, while causing harm unrelated to expression, consistent with the First Amendment. This may include, but is not limited to, violent crimes; hate crimes, illegal discrimination against American citizens, or other violations of Americans’ civil rights; and crimes against property and the peace, as well as conspiracies and attempts to violate, and aiding and abetting others to violate, such laws.

You do understand the statement: consistent with the First Amendment?

Quote:
To the maximum extent permitted by the Constitution, the Attorney General shall vigorously prosecute those who violate our laws in ways that involve desecrating the American Flag, and may pursue litigation to clarify the scope of the First Amendment exceptions in this area.

You do understand the statement: permitted by the Constitution

Explain to me how President Trump is abusing power here. I won’t hold my breath waiting for a rational answer.

Who said the following?

Quote:
I agree wholeheartedly that maliciously burning or destroying an American flag is a deeply offensive and despicable act, it disrespects our nation, it belittles the sacrifices of our brave veterans, it even sends a message to the soldiers who fight today protecting our freedom that their service is in some way to be disrespected and discounted.

Now burning a flag to me is also despicable and I believe that there is no denying when we talk about our flag, Americans’ emotions run deep, and we know that when we look at the flag, and it’s deliberately maliciously destroyed that is an intimidating experience in many instances, I agree that this flag burning, this desecration, that can happen to our flag, is something that people have a right to ask this body to try to prohibit and prevent.

I hope, Mr. President, that we can pass a law that criminalizes flag burning and desecration.

Answer HERE
LOL

Yes, I already knew it was a stupid EO that does nothing. I expect him to try to abuse all his authority, so it it's just as likely he will here which is the basis of my statement. Almost everything he does gets challenged as lawful.

This is hardly the first time or even first place on the internet I've addressed flag burning. I knew about Hillary when she initially made her first comment.

Keep holding your breath though, as it may turn you a nice color blue.
