George H.W. Bush, in pushing for an amendment against flag-burning, must have recognized this case as a big red flag.
Proves the point about OW Holmes, never wrong, along with his friend Evans Hughes. Speech is OK.
Holmes' Schenk opinion had allowed arrests for acts of interference. That was correct, too. It should be applied today to the operatives of the Democrat Party, e.g. the Mueller investigation should have prompted the arrests of Nancy Pelosi and the other Democrat agents of the Chinese Communist Party.
OW was an Ivy indoctrinated lawyer. However, he was a war hero with horrendous injuries. His life permitted him to overcome the brain damage caused by his education. Dad was a doc.
