In a new essay at Postliberal Order, I argue thatburning the flag as an expression of contempt for one’s country is contrary tothe virtue of piety, is something we therefore have no right to do undernatural law, and may, in principle, therefore be outlawed by the state.  I also argue that the Supreme Court was, in Texas v. Johnson, mistaken in claimingthat a right to burn the flag is implied by the U.S. constitution.
