Trump throws support behind 'no brainer' measure to ban burning of American flagBY TAL AXELROD - 06/15/19 09:55 AM EDT
@realDonaldTrump the Criminal-In-Thief just Tweeted:
Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag - if they do, there must be consequences - perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail!
Forty-eight states previously had laws against flag burning until the 1989 Texas v. Johnson Supreme Court decision ruled that the act was protected under the First Amendments freedom of speech clause.

If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein.
