Most ppl don't like it. That's why he's trying to pick a fight over it so Ds will reflexively defend it. Don't take the bait, ppl. If a case arises it will work it's way thru the system & win without becoming the alleged D brand going into midterms, like 'defund' did a few yrs ago.
Until it goes before SCOTUS. We have no idea if they will overturn Texas v Johnson.
Making it a midterm issue won't impact that possibility, but it'll help Rs hold Congress & absolute power. Again, nobody - let alone migrants simply hoping to not be harassed - is burning flags. This is a political shiny fishing lure.
I really don't think it's going to go that far. Hell, this will be forgotten in "2 weeks". People can't seem to focus on an issue for more than a few days.
He just needs ONE democrat saying "flag burning is a right" to frame *every D candidate* as a dangerous antifa loon ahead of midterms and he'll almost definitely get it. TV ads with fire n flags are campaign dynamite.
You have a point.
We fall for it every time. When they brought Kilmar back we won, end of story, take the W. But no, we have to then fight his deportation even if it's after he gets due process and maybe turn that W into an L. The issue was due process, not Kilmar! Bottom line, we suck at this and will keep losing.
He has a right to fight his trumped up charges in a court of law.
Its not about kilmar. Its about justice and the rule of law.
Absolutely.
EPSTEIN!
