Re: The Flag
In Response To: The Flag ()

I've got a better one for you:

"'Shoot if you must this old grey head, but spare your country's flag,' she said."

A line from John Greenleaf Whittier's "Barbara Fritchie." "Barbara Fritchie" was reprinted in it's entirity in Justice Rhenquist's laughable dissent in Texas V. Johnson, the case in which the Supreme Court upheld flag burning. The Honorable Chief Justice also quoted from The Star Spangled Banner and Ralph Waldo Emerson.

I was more impressed with the concurrance by Justice Kennedy, which actually contained some legal reasoning: "Sometimes we must make decisions we do not like. We make them because they are right ... It is poignant and fundamental that the flag protects those who hold it in comtempt."
