    I guess it’s time to bring back flag burning.

    What better way to demonstrate that America is “the land of the free”?

    What better way to demonstrate that it’s not the land of the free, by prosecuting such a trivial thing.

    This doesn’t change the law. Go burn flags. Just don’t commit any crimes while doing it and you should be good.

    If you own the flag and burn it on your property I’m not sure what they could do to you.

    I am not a lawyer so probably best not to take an internet strangers legal advice

      There is no passing. Executive orders don’t create new laws. You can’t be charged with burning a flag. You can and will be arrested for something else if you do this, though.

    I wonder if those who fondle the flag should be prosecuted for gross indecency towards national symbols…

      The flag actually likes it when you grab it by the tassles. When you’re rich they let you do it.

    That was the “OLD” Supreme Court. The “NEW” Supreme Court disagrees.

    uniquely offensive

    Oh, so we care about this now? I can think of a uniquely offensive occurrence involving a fouly nicknamed plane and an island that just might be a bit more worthy of investigation & prosecution.
