Flag burning may destroy the flag, but an amendment to protect it would damage what it stands for.
Old Glory is a symbol of freedom. Her red bars are tributes to the blood shed by the colonists who revolted against tyrannical oppression, including censorship and the inability to protest government policies.

Rep. Skaggs said: "We do not need to amend the Bill of Rights to show our respect for the flag. ... Our flag commands the deepest respect because it stands for a nation and community that is strong. Strong enough to tolerate diversity and to protect the rights of those expressing unpopular views, and even expressing them on some regrettable occasions in an offensive manner."
