Burning the American flag is despicable and makes me angry. - hokie VT - 8/25 16:51:22

Yes, but getting a year in jail for it is useless and absurd - GA Tiger MU - 8/25 18:36:48

Agree 100% as long as the flag is your property and it's - DHighlander NWMSU - 8/25 18:07:52

It's only illegal to burn an Isreali flag now (nm) - Seagull MU - 8/25 17:05:45

I'm sure you have a point, but… NM - hokie VT - 8/25 17:12:09

It was illegal until 1989(nm) - Spanky KU - 8/25 16:56:39

And unconstitutional the entire time it was legal. (nm) - haeffb MU - 8/25 17:02:39

Perhaps and perhaps not... from the founding of the US until - Spanky KU - 8/25 17:09:24

All of them (nm) - haeffb MU - 8/25 17:10:06

this is you being a troll (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 8/25 17:16:51

So why not the laws against flag burning prior to 1989?(nm) - Spanky KU - 8/25 17:11:34

Slavery was Constitutional too. Do you have a point?(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 8/25 17:12:40

It was not abolished via a Court Decision - Spanky KU - 8/25 17:13:29

It was abolished through military action despite being - TigerMatt STL - 8/25 17:19:55

No.. it wasn't - Spanky KU - 8/25 17:31:17

I did. The southern states left the union. There were not - TigerMatt STL - 8/25 17:53:46

Was Missouri a slave state that joined remained in the Union - Spanky KU - 8/25 18:26:49

Nah, the Union was preserved via military action - that was - 90Tiger STL - 8/25 18:02:19

TM thinks the Emancipation Proclomation freed all the slaves - Spanky KU - 8/25 18:37:12

Wrong. Ratifying the 13th amendment was a requirement to - TigerMatt STL - 8/25 18:17:16

When did Delaware ratify the 13th Amendment? - Spanky KU - 8/25 18:34:14

When did Mississippi ratify the 13th Amendment? - Spanky KU - 8/25 18:33:26

Good point. Only the second two. (nm) - haeffb MU - 8/25 17:12:38

well done, no longer trolling (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 8/25 17:17:17

Right. We can’t know if something is unconstitutional - haeffb MU - 8/25 17:21:03

it would be awesome if that was sarcastic, unfortunately, - 90Tiger STL - 8/25 17:36:06

Or, there is this - haeffb MU - 8/25 17:40:38

Well, that’s what Spanky said. - haeffb MU - 8/25 17:39:25

Clearly not infallible. - haeffb MU - 8/25 17:57:48

Like Trump’s tariffs.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 8/25 17:10:38

very similar, yes. big gotcha, matt! (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 8/25 17:17:55

I wager that SCOTUS tosses Trump's IEEPA tariffs - Spanky KU - 8/25 17:12:40
