One vote. The Senate rejected a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning. The ban was on the checklist of the Republicans to energize their base coming into the mid-term election cycle.
Burning the flag is offensive, I think we all agree on that fact. But, to me, infringing on free speech is just as offensive. Yes, I put burning the flag in that category. As offensive as it is, where is the rampant burning of American flags that require us to amend the constitution?
I'd like to propose a constitutional amendment banning using the constitution to fire up your political base.
How about a Constitutional Amendment outlawing bars that charge $6 for a beer? That offends me far more than flag burning.
I love burning flags and letting the flames singe my body hair. My favorite flag to burn is Venezuela's, followed by Aberzachristtiszan

I agree. Since the Republicans are so concerned about social and bedroom issues, how about a Constitutional Amendment to outlaw being mean, cruel and unfair? Who could argue with that?
