“Burning a flag is considered protected free speech under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, specifically as a form of symbolic speech.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Texas v. Johnson (1989) that the government cannot prohibit the act of burning the American flag when done as a political protest, stating that such actions are a form of expressive conduct protected by the First Amendment.
This decision established that the government cannot suppress speech simply because it finds the message offensive.
This protection applies when an individual burns a flag they own. However, the right does not extend to destroying someone else’s property. Burning a flag that does not belong to you, such as a flag taken from public property or a private residence, is not protected and can be prosecuted as theft or destruction of property.
Additionally, while the act of burning a flag is protected, other laws may still apply. For example, burning a flag in a location with a fire ban, such as a national forest, can lead to criminal charges due to the fire hazard, regardless of the symbolic intent.
The Supreme Court has also ruled that the government cannot discriminate based on the viewpoint of the message being expressed. For instance, a law that allows burning a worn flag but prohibits burning a new one would be unconstitutional because it treats different viewpoints differently.
This principle extends to other symbols as well; burning a pride flag, a Confederate flag or a Palestinian flag [or a book such as the Koran] is also protected as free speech if done by the owner and in compliance with local laws.”
Yeah, I don’t care that people burn flags. Good to know where they stand. I do care that the flag burners seem to have completely taken over the elite institutions of this country, though.
The educational institutions should prohibit burning of the flag on school property. Especially those with benefit of federal funds. Your free speech ends at that moral turpitude clause in that handbook agreement, ya signed when you agreed to the tuition contract.
You make the H’s, Y’s and the S’s abide by that to receive any federal funding.
Make the little overeducated idiots do their shenanigans across the street. Let those property and business owners do the rest.
FAFO
Having carried a casket draped in a US flag, I care.
Do whatever you want in private, but when you do it with the intention to incite, as the EO states, then there should be accountability.
There certainly not should be a double standard as there exists now when you burn a rainbow flag and get sent to prison for 16 years as in Iowa, or a prison term for tearing down a rainbow flag from a church, or a prison term for leaving black skid marks on a rainbow colored cross-walk.
Burn a US flag on campus and see what happens, then burn a Palestine flag on campus and see what happens. Both are intended to incite, and both should be dealt with equally under the law.
What about the guy who ripped a rainbow flag from his church and burned it and got 10yrs ?
Or laws that prohibit the desecration of the American flag while on government grounds yet all Marxist turned the red white and blue into a Ukrainian colored U.S. flag on the capitol steps.
Did he own the flag?
Destruction of private property, meaning a flag, should not result in a 10 year prison sentence. Clearly the leftist judges are the cause of these ridiculous sentences.
When someone receives a 10-year sentence for burning someone else’s American flag, let us know.
I think it’s another brilliant move by President Trump to use their reflex resistance anything that he supports. Perhaps soon we’ll see Ilhan Omar and her ilk burning the US flag in protest while decrying as hate speech the similar desecration of pride flags or symbols.
Whether to send gangbanger, human trafficker, serial domestic abuser, and child predator Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda instead of back home to El Salvador seems like legal idiocy to me.
So he is “fearful” of going back to El Salvador because some rival gang doesn’t like him. So what? When you decide to be a gangbanger you run the risk a rival gang might not like you, sometimes in rather medieval ways. But such a fear is not covered as a qualifying reason under international law for asylum, so his “fear” should not bind the U.S. to do or not do anything. If this is anywhere in U.S. law, then Congress needs to change it and eliminate it as an excuse for leftist judges to let people like him stay in the U.S.
And why would we have to send him to some special place that will accept him, such as Uganda, if some leftist judge says we cannot send him to El Salvador? Why should we care where he goes just so long as he goes? If not to Uganda, then let him choose what other country to go to go and put him on a plane and send him there. He chose to come to the U.S. and likely passed through a number of other countries to get here, countries that must have been free of that rival El Salvadoran gang, so why not just order him expelled and let him figure out where to go?
Why? Because HE SHOULDN’t get to choose anything. That’s like saying a convicted felon can choose what prison he prefers to spend his incarcerated years in.
If we’re talking about the sentence he gets after being convicted, then yes, you’re right. But if all we’re talking about is getting him out of the country, then why should we care where he goes just so long as he is gone? If the administration has to muck around finding some safe place to send him that is willing to accept him, then we might never get rid of him, especially if you have judges second-guessing those locations. Just order him to leave within 24 hours and then why should we care where he goes?
I hear Antarctica is pretty safe. No Polar bears there to worry about. Give him a tent, some fuzzy boots, and warm mittens and he’s free to move about with no fear of retaliation from rival gangs.
A wee bit chilly, sure, but completely safe. Who could complain about that?
wrong thread, this was therefore off topic.
Man, what a President, 5 more terms please
Pam was about to say MSNBC but caught herself and ‘picked up’ with MS13.
Body language and cues from Bondi and Vance.
They are watching and waiting for Trump to be gone.
