    But yeah, that's the least of our worries at the moment.
    Indeed...keep in mind, "their "concern" is never for the flag...or the church...or the virus...or this country in general...or for George Floyd...It's simply personal frustration combined with hate for the president...this seems to be the only place they have to vent....

    There’s nothing to refute, it’s your personal opinions which are based on racism, ignorance and stupidity.

    Scalia? Refresh my memory, but wasn't he an (R) appointee and considered solidly conservative?

    Scalia was a bit of a wild card, but he was widely considered to be very conservative and very much an originalist. He had far more integrity in his little finger than Clarence Thomas has in his entire body. His best friend on the court was Ginsburg, which I think speaks volumes. There is nothing more fun than quoting Scalia on 2nd Amendment rights and watching the right wing nutters explode.

And it wasn't to silence the voices of those who don't agree with what is going on.

    Here is an interesting history of flag desecration law. Note the two businessmen who were convicted for selling beer with depictions of the flag on the label.

    https://www.ushistory.org/betsy/more/desecration.htm

    From the WWII era:

    "1943: West Virginia Board of Education v. Barnette (319 U.S. 624) — The Supreme Court held that public school children could not be compelled to salute the U.S. flag. In a now famous passage, Justice Jackson highlighted the importance of freedom of expression under the First Amendment:

    "Freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter much. That would be a mere shadow of freedom. The test of its substance is the right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing order. If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion or other matters of opinion."

    You really should try harder to keep your personal issues to yourself and stop trying to get sympathy for them here. Doesn't your insurance and "pension" cover psychiatric care?

    As well as classic projection. She can't kick the dogs so she comes here to vent her hatred, bitterness, and envy on others. She's not well.
