Flag talk runs all night in protest of flag ruling
Washington critics of the Supreme Court decision on flag desecration kept the House open overnight to denounce the ruling. More than a dozen reps pledged to join Rep. Duncan Hunter in the marathon session, urging a constitutional amendment to bar flag desecration while President Bush said he would send such an amendment to Congress. Republican leaders and several lawmakers called for stronger protection of the flag, highlighting differences with protections for currency and mailboxes.

Prospects Brighten for Madigan Tax Plan in Illinois Senate
Springfield reports that Senate Republicans failed to produce a written alternative to House Speaker Michael Madigan’s 18.4 percent income tax hike. By 6 p.m. the Senate stayed with Madigan’s proposal as the only viable plan, despite earlier hopes of a Republican counter. Governor Thompson’s plan is off the table, and Madigan’s measure remains alive for possible reconsideration before Friday midnight. Philip aimed to defeat HB 490 again to block passage in both chambers.
