The Senate had a Flag Desecration Amendment that they voted on last week and it failed by one vote. I have already stated that the Senators are out of touch with Americans. Nearly 90% of America favors such an amendment but there are a few RINO Senators who did not vote for the amendment because they know better than you do what you want. All the Senators who voted against this have given reasons (excuses) but none of them wash. Clinton said that she introduced legislation to make it illegal. She knows full well that it will be overturned bu the SCOTUS, just as the other laws have. Either she is an idiot when it comes to law or she is trying to make it look like she has the alternative to such a drastic measure. You can decide but I am going with a combination of the two.
Others have told us an amendment is unnecessary because Flag burnings are rare. Bank robberies are rare but we still have laws because a majority of Americans want laws against bank robbery. The Senate can not grasp the idea that they are supposed to represent us, to carry our OUR will. A very large majority wants this but they know better. Perhaps these jackasses can explain how it is that the rare Flag burning takes place as an annual even at Santa Cruz and on the Fourth of July.
A bunch of liberal pussies get together and burn Flags, for no particular reason. They do it because they can. The men and women of our armed forces gave and protect their right to this act and they can show no decency. That is because they all say it is their right but NONE of them have the guts to go out and defend that right unless it involves a protest in the street while drinking fancy coffees with names no one can pronounce. They are truly pussies. I wish one of those helicopters that puts out forest fires could have dumped a bucket of water on the cowards.
I am looking for the day when some jackass burns a Flag in my neighborhood. I imagine that he might get hurt when the fire gets extinguished. This event and the others around the country coupled with cowardly RINO Senators means that my plan is more important than ever. Each jurisdiction should require a Flag burning permit that costs $10,000 (per Flag). Anyone caught without the permit would spend 6 months in jail. Also, no permits will be issued for burnings on public property.
The SCOTUS can not regulate permits. Of course, the legislation Clinton proposes might have teeth if they write into it that it may not be reviewed by the courts. The Constitution states (in Article III, section 2):
…the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.
So, make it one of the exceptions…
