I can't believe they are even discussing this not to mention actually voting on it. What's really scary is that it missed the senate by only 1 vote.
In my opinion this is pretty cut and dry. If you can burn your country's flag then you're probably living in a free society, but if you get arrested then you're living in tyranny.
Also, I agree with Pan that this was mainly brought up as a distration to other real issues that need to be dealt with.
