Prominent conservatives are criticizing trump's latest move in making burning the flag a crime
Good to see that although they dislike the idea of burning a flag, they also like protecting free speech more. Still dislike conservative's politics but good to know that there are still some who would speak out too.

Trump hasn't made flag burning a crime; only Congress can do that.
I remember when this came up during the first Bush administration. I saw a cartoon with a hippie holding a burning flag and running with George H.W. Bush chasing him, and ignoring the burning city in the background.
@LeopoldBloom a veteran was recently arrested for burning the flag, he did make it a crime. Then again his administration also deleted emails and dhs officially said they don't know what's going on so they have no control anymore if this is a hint
@LeopoldBloom Sure, but so what? Trump will just declare it a crime, then send the military in to occupy any city that doesn't enforce the law. Democrats will fight back by grumbling on social media. Maybe Chuck Schumer will write another strongly worded letter.
