Supreme Court to rule on flag desecration as free speech
The court agreed to decide if burning the American flag during a political protest qualifies as symbolic speech under the First Amendment. Dallas seeks to uphold a Texas law against desecration, arguing it protects flag symbolism and public order, while Johnson led a 1984 anti nuclear demonstration with die ins and vandalism. The decision could limit or expand limits on protest actions and speech.
