has the supreme court upheld laws against flag burning because it presents a danger to national security?

Answer 1

Flag-burning may be objectionable to you, but the reality is that it's a fairly effective way to show disassociation with the country. I know that lots of people say, "If you don't like it here, then move." It isn't that easy, though, if your family and home and roots are here. For most, it's the better choice to stay and raise hell (non-violently, of course) and hope for change. I am not a flag burner myself, but it's a protected form of free speech. People who do it deserve no more persecution than people who rail against "the man" in other non-violent ways.

Answer 2

To not uphold laws concerning the Flag of the country underwhich those laws are defended and bled for, would be sort of contradictory on their part. I think I would have to ask why anyone would want to be "allowed" to burn the flag of their country?
This would seem to indicate someone who had no respect, or love for the country of which they are a citizen. I hope this is not you.

Answer 3

It's not illegal to burn a flag.

Flag burning is a freedom which is protected under the constitution. It's not a threat to anyone's national security, it is just a threat to the sensitivities of patriotic folks like me. As a US Army soldier, I protect every American's rights to free speech and expression...even that speech or expression I disagree with.

Answer 4

i believe they have, in the case Texas v. Johnson. but they said it was a way of showinf freedom of speech, and was considered constitutional. i dont think they have a law against that yet.
