That leaves an incredibly wide area open. The petition for redress applies to both the people and the states, and I think that this is pretty well established law.

It's ironic that you hold "
sedition" as an exception to the
first amendment considering how it is to be used with the
second amendment to overthrow the government, should it become too repressive, a la
Nazi Germany...
Also, what's the deal with
flag desecration? How can your government work so hard to make it illegal and still pretend to hold the first amendment so dear?
