Flag Burning
The Senate rejected an effort to amend the Constitution to allow Congress to ban desecration of the American flag by a single vote. Just yesterday, the 66 to 34 vote fell just short of the two-thirds majority required to approve a constitutional amendment and submit it to the states for ratification.

LockerRoom debate: Jon, Roy and Jenna
As I think is aptly pointed out in the debate, this is more an issue of "looking good" and maintaining patriotism, rather than some virtuous protection of the legacy of America. Roy also points out the issue of property rights rather than a violation of the First Amendment. I am interested in what others have to say on the subject.
