Scalia believed so strongly in the 1st amendment that he even voted in favor of flag burning which he abhorred. I couldn’t only imagine how sad he would be seeing the current wave of government censorship, hysterics, and lockdowns. (media.patriots.win)

If you truly believe in the freedom of speech, flag burning must be allowed. We should also allow people to say anything, be part of any group, so long as you aren't harming others.

The Founding Fathers could have put in a provision about the flag but saw fit not to, or didn't happen to think of it. Back when we had a Constitutional Republic (last week) we could have inserted a anti-flag burning amendment.

I don't want to make burning flags illegal. I don't like when people do not, but it's protected under the first amendment.
