Trump's DOJ wants to criminalize free speech

I'm still waiting for an example of what a " certain action" could be that isn't already illegal and not protected by 1st amendment.

That's already illegal though. Putting others in danger. Understand that? Very simple concept.  I'm asking you once again to come up w a "certain action" that is flag specific and not already illegal. Pointless to ban something that is already illegal. 

Illegal yes, investigated and prosecuted....not so much.  Which is precisely the point of the EO, for the AG to review cases for laws that may have been broken in the process.  This is where reading comprehension, or as it appears in this case reading it in the first place, comes into play.

Outlawing any actions that are specific to the flag but not non-u.s. flags is unconstitutional.  

Agreed.  But that isn't what is occurring or even being discussed as occurring in the article.

So how about just enforce current laws? Rather than feel the need to pass new laws or e.o.s and selectively enforce only those and ignore other ones that ban the exact same stuff. What you're proposing makes zero sense. AND only when it's a flag but not a different piece of fabric? Absolutely stupid idea.
