Burn Your Flags While There's Still Time!
The government is taking away everyone's favorite form of protest. We all should have seen this coming when they started sending protesters into fenced-off protester pens.
Now...what does this mean for my cheesy collection of Americana?
Who's taking bets on how long before the Supreme Court rules on this? The Court is pretty conservative but I don't think the justices are flat-out stupid. They can't arrest everyone who drops a flag-print paper plate on the ground. And anyone burning a flag on the street is obviously going to be doing it in protest (my civics knowledge is rusty but I do think that the right to protest and free speech were things we had our revolution for).

I've never had an interest in burning the flag, either. But I wouldn't arrest those that do.
