Flag Burning First Amendment
395 wordsThe first amendment says it's all right to express one's opinions as long as that opinion doesn't do any harm to others. Flag Burning, as the Supreme Court declared it, is protected underneath the first amendment whether you or I like it or not. That is a fact.

Until they do that, then flag burning will remain legal. I am not saying that burning our...
