flag flaming is fine
...could not punish him for the flag burning, because of the First amendment. In 1990, the U.S. Supreme Court considered burning the American Flag as an act that is protected by the First Amendment right to free speech. What Gregory Johnson did was expressive conduct that was protected by the constitution. Johnson’s action did not in any way constitute “fighting words.” In Johnson's case, the State admitted that there was "no actual breach of the peace occurred at the time of the flag burning or in response to the flag burning." The Supreme Court ruled that Gregory was not guilty of any crime. Congress then passed the Flag Protection Act, which made vandalizing the flag illegal. After a few years in 1990, the Supreme Court ruled that the act was unconstitutional. Supporters in favor of tampering with the constitution believe that there is only way to get Americans to stop burning flags. The supporters of changing the constitution believe that burning the flag is like disregarding all that our forefathers worked for. For them, the flag stood for freedom, liberty, and justice for all. Battles that had ensured our freedom had been fought over the star spangled banner. Each time we fought we emerged victorious, each time the flag was still there; a symbol of those who had fought for us, and those millions of Americans who had died doing so. By burning the flag it’s like defacing America it self. Also, supporters of changing the U.S. Constitution believe that it is disrespectful to our nation and will lead to other generations believing that it’s okay to burn the flag to express how you feel and get away without any repercussions.
