Flag-burning amendment DOA

The amendment failed 66-34. Okay, now can Congress debate actual important, substantial issues facing our nation? Pretty please?

In the words of Senator Daniel Inouye, who lost an arm fighting for his country in World War II:

While I take offense at disrespect to the flag, I nonetheless believe it is my continued duty as a veteran, as an American citizen, and as a United States senator to defend the constitutional right of protesters to use the flag in nonviolent speech.

Ay-men!
