    Default Trump calls for Supreme Court to reconsider flag burning laws amid protests

    President Donald Trump said Monday that he'd support laws criminalizing flag burning, saying in a call with governors that it's time for the Supreme Court to take up the issue again as nationwide protests have intensified over the death of George Floyd.

    Trump's comments follow nearly a week of protests across the country that at times have turned violent over the death of Floyd, a 46-year-old African American man who died at the hands of a police officer in Minneapolis. During the protests in some cities, people have vandalized buildings and looters have ransacked businesses. In Atlanta, protesters burned an American flag in front of CNN headquarters and photographers have captured images of flag burnings in Los Angeles and Washington state in recent days.

    I guess Trump wants to be like Kim Long Dong.

    This isn't what our soldiers fought for.

    Riots and a pandemic going on, and this is what he's concerned about.

    Hate speech is constitutionally protected speech. It is not necessarily hate speech unless you know the intent of the flag burner.

    There are not laws against hate speech. I think you are confusing hate speech with hate crimes.

    Some colleges have speech codes prohibiting hate speech but those are only permitted in private colleges because free speech protections do not apply. If they are public colleges most of those provisions have been struck down.

    The Supremes said flag burning was free speech. Scalia wrote a very good defense of it.,https://www.post-gazette.com/opinion...s/201612310060 You rightys on this board are not qualified to discuss flag burning.

    According to Stormy, tRumps "long dong" aspirations are just wishful thinking.....)

    It is more classic tRump deflection. He isn't about to piss of his racist base with his poll numbers sinking. As such he needs another "red meat" diversion to amp up his "mindless minion" base.

    Tell that to a WWII veteran.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    He would likely say, "While burning the flag is something that I would never do, I was fighting for your right to do it".
