I apparently misunderstood that he was making an interesting point. Of course it goes to punishing ideas, or at least statutes that would punish ideas. That's a novel take on it?
There's nothing facially objectionable about the amendment itself, I suppose. The problem comes when Congress passes another flag desecration law, which will be in immediate tension with the first amendment. Which trumps?

I wondered this myself when I saw a Rob Courdry bit on The Daily Show where he "accidentally" lit a little American flag on fire with a sparkler.
