Flag Burning Amendment Stalls in Senate Debate
The proposed constitutional amendment to ban flag burning passed the House 312 120 but stalls in the Senate where foes warn it could trigger disputes over state definitions of desecration. It would overturn the 1989 Supreme Court ruling that flag burning is protected speech. Senate timing is unclear with votes short of the needed two thirds.
