Reply #11: or why not [View All]

just say rather than amend the constitution, we'll make a law. Democrats can make the point that there is no epidemic of flag burning in this country and that amending the constitution to prohibit flag burning actually harms the constitution that the flag repersents. When we are sworn in, in the military we take an oath to protect the constitution. If the law is constitutional it will pass the test, if it's not the supreme court will deem in unconstitutional.

Or Dems can just say the hell with it. Let Americans know why the Repubs are bringing this up, voice their opposition to it but say they will vote for it rather than allow it to be used as a wedge to divide the country. Let the people know the motives behind the move.
