Interesting responses by everyone. I have seen the news, but I was at a location I was unable to access the internet. Now that I am back I am glad to be able to partcipate in this discussion.

My view - Even if it had been approved, it wouldn't have become law. Two reasons. One The Supreme Court already ruled that the first amendment says that the act of burning the flag falls into it's protection of freedom of speach. So if congress were to pass a law that were to oppose this, and the supreme court didn't rule that the amendment was unconstituional, then the supreme court would be admiting error in judgment. I believe this wouldn't take place. Second reason it wouldn't become law. The states must ratify the amendment for it to become law. I don't think that this would occur either. Why, well just gut feeling mostly.

I am an United States of America Soldier. I go to work everyday so that those freedoms established by the constitution are defended, and upheld. I would willingly give my life to defend a libreal who was protesting my actions by burning a flag.

Freedom of expresion is one of the very basic rights america was founded on. It has a religious foundation, but its implications are far reaching. I think that once goverment begins erroding those freedoms currently guarenteed by the us constituion. Our country will quickly go downhill (as far as the freedoms we are guarenteed).

Thank you for allowing me to express my views here. It is truely an honor to be able to think I am in the collective of this group.
