Thankfully the proposed amendment went down again this year, but a postmortem is necessary because this waste of Senate time may comeback again someday. I would support an amendment that said "After several tries within a ten year period, no vote shall be ...oh, nevermid.

We don't need such an amendment. In almost every community, there are reasonable and politically neutral laws against open flames, in order to protect public safety.
Hence, without violating anyone's rights, the public safety folks can legitimately turn fire hoses on anyone who attempts to burn a flag (or anything else) in violation of these just and reasonable laws.

I bet she'd really be upset if some one burned a rainbow flag.

I agree with his criticism of Feinstein. She is an evil whore, in addition to giving illogical statement. However, this guy didn't exactly strengthen his own argument by invoking the name of Chuck D.

Counter-culture creeps with sexual identity problems can legally burn our flag in front of us, but we can't even tell their filthy, anti-American kids in the schools to shut up when needed. The same weirdos who burn our flags use their activism to stop the rest of us from free expression and their linguistic activism to warp our language to fit their abnormalities.

Desecrating the constitution to prevent flag desecration... what an ingenious idea.

Remember a few years back when Babs was waving an AK-47 around a press room, mag in, finger on trigger--and half the room (veterans probably) `hit the deck'?
