can we still burn the confederate flag?

I was disappointed to hear that my representative in Congress, the revered Ms. Lois Capps, voted in favor of amending the constitution to allow prosecuting American citizens for burning the U.S. flag. I don’t know why she did it, she’s hugely popular and conservatives in this district aren’t of the sort to get fired up by such a blatant violation of free-speech rights. An aide stated that it was simply “something she feels strongly about.” Go figure.

I don't like to see the American flag burning. However, I rarely do, at least in this country. Moving to make it illegal will make it seem like an imparative for certain folks. My prediction, Amendment passes, flags burn like California forests.
