Flag Burning Amendment Misses By One Vote
I share the same
sentiment as Sen. Daniel Inouye:
"Our country's unique because our dissidents have a voice," said Sen. Daniel Inouye D-Hawaii, a World War II veteran who lost an arm in the war and was decorated with the Medal of Honor.
"While I take offense at disrespect to the flag," he said, "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."
