Senate Rejects Flag Desecration Amendment
2006-06-28
The Senate today fell one vote short of passing a proposed constitutional amendment that would have allowed Congress to prohibit the desecration of the American flag. The proposed amendment went down when the Senate voted 66-34 to approve it. At least 67 votes -- two-thirds of the 100-member body -- were needed to pass the amendment, which was passed by the House last year.
Just as well, though I would be in favor of a law exempting people who thump flag burners from prosecution.
Everytime I see a flag-burner, I say to myself, "there goes an idjit."
