SSG Shavonde Chase In 2005 Hillary co-sponsored the Flag Protection Act which made flag burning punishable by a year in jail and a $100,000 fine. Just saying.

While there is NO WAY citizenship can be revoked for this particular incident, the laws on the books should be enforced. In my opinion, the SCOTUS WAS/IS wrong when they say this type of actions is protected under the 1st Amendment as free speech. THAT is a load of EQUINE FECAL MATTER.

I agree. It is very disrespectful. I believe if you hate that badly then you should move. There are more mature ways to make a statement.

I looked up the earliest definition i could find regarding speech. The definitions used in the period when the Bill of Rights was adopted, there is nothing remotely resembling a "physical expression" as a form of speech. Even the definition of "discourse" mentioned in the definition specifically states, "a communication of thoughts by words."
The SCOTUS was most definitely wrong in their interpretation. The definition at the time of the First Amendment did not include any form of physical expression.
American Dictionary OF THE English Language
Noah Webster, 1828
SPEECH, noun
1. The faculty of uttering articulate sounds or words, as in human beings; the faculty of expressing thoughts by words or articulate sounds. speech was given to man by his Creator for the noblest purposes.
2. Language; words as expressing ideas. The acts of God to human ears cannot without process of speech be told.
3. A particular language, as distinct form others. Psalms 19:2.
4. That which is spoken; words uttered in connection and expressing thoughts. You smile at my speech
5. Talk; mention; common saying. The duke did of me demand, what was the speech among the londoners concerning the French journey.
6. Formal discourse in public; oration; harangue. The member has made his first speech in the legislature.
7. Any declaration of thoughts. I, with leave of speech implor'd, repli'd.
DISCOURSE, noun Discors. [Latin , to run.]
1. The act of the undertaking, by which it passes from premises to consequences; the act which connects propositions, and deduces conclusions from them. [This sense is now obsolete.]
2. Literally, a running over a subject in speech; hence, a communication of thoughts by words, either to individuals, to companies, or to public assemblies. discourse to an individual or to a small company is called conversation or talk; mutual interchange or thoughts; mutual intercourse of language. It is applied to the familiar communication of thoughts by an individual, or to the mutual communication of two or more. We say, I was pleased with his discourse and he heard our discourse
The vanquished party with the victors joined, nor wanted sweet discourse the banquet of the mind.
3. Effusion of language; speech.
4. A written treatise; a formal dissertation; as the discourse of Plutarch on garrulity; of Cicero on old age.
5. A sermon, uttered or written. We say, an extemporaneous discourse or a written discourse
