Don't you think that Congress has more important things to do?

Question

than worry about passing a Constitutional Amendment banning flag-burning.

there are a lot of good answers for this question, so I'm just going to let it go into voting.

Answer 1

No I don't think so. There are men who have taken a bullet protecting our flag and what they think it stands for ..others have spent time as prisoners of war. If they want Congress to worry about it ...so freaking be it.

Answer 2

while I would like to see a law regarding the burning of the flag, this is hardly the time to worry about.
We got lots of other problems that should be more pressing.
Look at what recently went down.
A bill requiring a boost in the minimum wage had another provision attached that would have given a tax break to the ultra wealthy who are better able to afford the tax.
LUNACY! ONE SIDED THINKING AND TUNNEL VISION!
I think we could pull people off the streets and get legislation from them that makes more sense than the so-called "educated" numbskulls who are running the show right now.

Answer 3

ABSOLUTELY!!!

I am ex-military and I do not condone flag burning; BUT, with that said, I do honor the freedoms of our country that gives ppl the right to burn the flag in order to protest.

We have so many other issues to deal with and hopefully resolve... we have ppl living under bridges, a war cost out of control, elderly not eating in order to buy medicine, jobs going overseas, ppl working at such low wages that the tax-payers are picking up the cost of their daycare and food stamps, environment going to hell, etc.....

And what are they doing... worrying about a freaking flag.

PS It must be a Washington thing because here in the South, I don't know anyone that would burn a flag. Point is that this is absurd... not like it is a crisis issue.

Answer 4

Yes, like a long vacation - I hope. They can spend it reading the 6000 bills they signed in the last year.

Does anybody believe that these clowns are reading what they sign into law? I think it's more likely that [sk]interns are writing our laws. No wonder the courts appear to be making law from the bench, they have to sort out all of the contradictions.

Flag burning? Who really cares? It's a piece of property. If somebody is burning one, at least you know where they stand.

Answer 5

No (bleeping) kidding. Like the 50 million American's that don't have health insurence, the 10 000 gun murders and the really poor. Also, this amendment clashes with a more important amendmant. FREE SPEECH! Bush is a moron and his administration is a faliure.

Answer 6

That's why the Senate never even looks at it. Even the Republican Senators. Flag-burning just isn't a problem here; nothing needs to be done about it.

BTW: There will only be reason to burn the flag once it becomes illegal to do so!

Answer 7

yet there's no international warming!! Or is the long island circumstances component of the evil deniers? "the international leaders who met on the United international locations to talk climate substitute on Tuesday are confronted with an problematic undertaking: construction momentum for a international climate treaty at a time while international temperatures have been extremely solid for a decade and may even drop contained in right here couple of years."

Answer 8

I only wish that the Supreme Dictators had more important things to do than issue rulings about flag-burning.

Answer 9

Absolutely. They could stop playing politics with our nations security and start passing some common sense laws that will keep us all safer, instead of worrying about being "polite" to the terrorists.

Sotbef: I would LOVE to hear what you think is wrong with the economy. What? Is it not phony enough for you like it was under Clinton?

Answer 10

Listen We have the chance to vote all those do nothing people out of office and get people in who can and will do things. Vote people!
