Worrying that banning flag desecration would inhibit free speech reveals a misunderstanding of the flag's fundamental nature.

Without amendments we would never even have had the Bill of Rights.

It's not written in the Constitution or anything else.... Congress, just out of the clear blue sky, said the airwaves belong to the people, which means, in essence, that it belongs to Congress.

A corollary is that, when laws are out of touch with the people, those laws can and should be changed - from the most simple local regulations to the highest law of the land, our federal Constitution.

Our nation is built on the bedrock principle that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.

The concept that you cannot own the airwaves has caused far more harm than good.

One of the things I learned in law school is that there's nothing wrong or undesirable or dishonorable or destructive about amending the Constitution.
