• Legislating Treason

  Hillary Clinton and other senators are planning to vote against a Constitutional amendment to ban flag burning. She states that she does not “believe a constitutional amendment is the answer.” She believes that it is not necessary to ban flag burning because it is not a widespread problem. She should note that many laws were in place before the actions they condemned were widespread problems. Take for instance: murder, treason, etc. There are some senators that plan on voting against it because they believe it falls under free speech. Sorry, but burning the flag is not “free speech.” It is an act of treason.
