Just saw the representatives of the group that is pushing this in congress - flag burning has risen 33% this year - omg - from 3 cases last year in the US to 4 this year
That means that congress is going to spend 4 days on debate and voting of these bill amendments (just saw on Cspan they are voting on one of them and its dying) - one day for each flag that is burned - gee - and they just voted themselves a payraise????
