Various comments on Flag Burning: Alder on the Corner : "I think a constitutional amendment to prohibit flag burning is an abomination." Captain's Quarters: "what we will have will be hundreds of amendments addressing narrow issues that will create massive confusion and complications for legislatures and law-enforcement efforts. We will have the EU Constitution instead of the compact framework that has served us so well for the last two centuries."

Stryker has the definitive word: "Given the events of September 11th, I could get behind an anti-people burning amendment....But not the flag burning, though. Anytime you use the Constitution to limit freedom instead of expanding it, I think that can be considered a bad thing. I always thought the Constitution was the means through which the People told the government what it could and could not do, not the other way around. But I guess I’m weird that way."
Count me weird too.
