[from NY1] A Republican bill that would ban some forms of flag burning has one Democratic co-sponsor: Senator Hillary Clinton. Ms. Clinton is the sole co-sponsor of a bill that would make it a crime to intimidate anyone by burning a flag, burn someone else's flag, or destroy a flag on federal property.
Right in the middle of a multi-state fund raising campaign New York State's junior Senator tells folks she wants a law passed banning buring the flag. The bill does not address the issue of a Constitutional amendment banning flag burning. Congressional lawyers believe the bill will withstand judicial review.
I'm not a fan of Hillary's, but I had much greater expectations of her drive and initative at promoting legislation that might foward the cause of social justice. Silly me.
