THE PROPER RESPONSE REMAINS...:
Top congressional Republicans defend right to burn American flag (Becca Stanek, 11/29/16, The week)
Top Republicans don't seem to share President-elect Donald Trump's opinion that flag burning should be a punishable offense. After Trump tweeted Tuesday that burning the American flag, an act constitutionally protected as free speech, should result in jail time or a "loss of citizenship," both Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) mildly -- yet clearly -- expressed their disagreement with the suggestion.
...violence and jury nullification.
