It was heartening to see the much-dreaded (by liberals) Reagan Supreme Court come down on the side of the Bill of Rights. ”Strict contructionism”
doesn`t necessarily mean ”turning back the clock.”
In this case it meant true regard for the intent of the 1st Amendment. It is characteristic of the extreme right that when sounder opinions prevail it agitates for a constitutional amendment. Unfortunately, our President has too often enlisted in such causes.
National flags are not consecrated objects. They are military symbols. They cannot be ”desecrated,” a term much used in this debate.
Political figures who jump on this bandwagon merit suspicion. One of the improper uses of the flag is as a protective covering.
