@Nonilex Justice Rehnquist's dissent in Texas v. Johnson appealed to historic practice, and as an example of the historic practice of respecting the flag, he quoted John Greenleaf Whittier's poem "Barbara Frietche," the one about "shoot if you must this old gray head, but spare my country's flag." My Con Law professor Calvin Massey promptly published a delightful law review article in which he definitively proved that "Barbara Frietche" is pure unadulterated fiction, and "ask[ed] whether the law of the Constitution ought to be driven by poetic fancy masquerading as history." https://scholarship.law.duke.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3088&context=dlj

@Nonilex seems clear that this court will take every opportunity given to overturn earlier scotus precedent.

@Nonilex And what are the statutorily defined criminal penalties for violating the flag code? None? It's a completely toothless etiquette guide? Then what, pray tell, would be the results of said prosecutions? The offender would have all their polyester Chinese-made silkscreen-colored flags seized and repatriated to flag-humping grifter perverts?

@Nonilex TACO is leaning full into throwing political red meat to his followers to distract everyone from the flaming economic disasters coming, epstein files, and his blatant dictatorial ambitions. we're seeing all the greatest hits... flag burning, abortion, prayer in school, etc.james dobson must be applauding loudly from his spot in hell.

@Nonilex I wonder what Trump considers desecration of our flag? Does it matter if the person is friend or foe? Most of his persecutions seem more driven by his personal dislike than any law.So far, the code does not consider flag patterns on clothing to be desecration unless it was made from an actual flag, so this woman is safe.

@Nonilex There's more than one way to desecrate the flag.
