Summary
In this commentary, Professor Toto discusses Donald Trump’s reported action concerning the burning of the American flag and interprets it as a deliberate legal strategy. He argues that Trump expects litigation and wants the controversy to reach the Supreme Court in hopes of overturning Texas v. Johnson. The speaker distinguishes spoken words from expressive conduct and rejects the idea that all forms of “expression” receive First Amendment protection. The American flag is described in deeply patriotic and quasi-sacred terms because of its association with fallen service members and major events in American history. Despite that religious-sounding language, the transcript contains no explicit or unmistakably identifiable Scripture passage. Therefore, no biblical references have been indexed.
