"The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, ensuring that there is no prohibition on the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble, or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances."
Nothing in the first amendment allows an action of burning the flag.
Yes I understand the court, stretched the meaning of the word speech to mean freedom of expression.
The court needs to stop changing the meaning of words just to justify their findings.
You may talk about burning anything you want, that is freedom of speech, but when you burn it, it is an action, unless you start the fire with your words.
And actions have consequences - or at least should have.
