What do you think a person who calls climate change a Chinese hoaxhoax will do?Which do you think would be better? Try to criminalize an act already ruled protected speech and try to convince Congress to support it? Or ignore it and hope instances die down.
I don't know what started Trump's message regarding flag burning in the first place since I don't recall any incidents recently, but his Tweet is what caused this recent rash of flag burnings and challenges to his statement. If he doesn't respond he doesn't provoke this kind of discussion or these types of actions. Criminalizing flag burning seems like it would only make civil disobedience worse.
But what does everyone else think?
Maybe because that would violate an individual's to freedom of symbolic speech? I dunno honestly, but it would seem like a good move. Protected or not, burning flags is dangerous.
I largely feel and think the same way. Flag burning was illegal in Norway until 2008, now it's legal. I'll protect someone's rights to burn our flag if they want to, but they'd better not let me see them doing it.
I took up arms to defend that flag, its values and its symbolism and I'd be rather pissed if I saw someone desecrating our colors... but I also took up arms to defend their right to do so and if the law says it's legal, then I support that.

Free speech has limits when the actions of which can be reasonably assumed to cause direct harm to people, such as specified death threats, calls of fire in a crowded area, bomb threats, etc.Free speech has limits. It is okay when directed against particular politicians in a peaceful protest. Hate speech is not okay. Flag burning which insults hundreds of millions of Americans is not okay.
I agree...but where was Carter 8 years ago when Obama first took office..he should have been pushing hard for it then.
I never had a problem with Carter. However he didn't push it previously because he didn't want the political fallout. Pushing it now (after Hillary lost) so Trump has to deal with it seems rather low.
