Quote:Keep in mind, penalty (fine, jail, even death) for flag desecration was PERMITTED up until 1989 I believe, when it was then ruled unconstitutional by the SCOTUS. So for over 200 years since the foundation, flag desecration was NOT considered "free expression".
 

This is a bogus argument. Just because it was not allowed for 200 years doesn't mean it was correct to penalize flag burners. How long were women and African-Americans denied voting privileges?

If something can corrupt you, you're corrupted already.
