I've been hoping common sense prevailed and this thing wouldn't pass, which it didn't.
The narrow issue of "flag desecreation," while troubling and stupid, isn't that important. Still, putting into the constitution the notion that congress has an explicit right to regulate political speech opens up many creepy doors I don't really want to open.
And, yay Republicans! You get to prove you're dumbassess yet again in 2 years.
