Summary

Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that: (1) the reasoning in the Supreme Court decision in Texas v. Johnson was incorrect; (2) the U.S. flag is unique and deserves to be treated with respect; and (3) it is a misinterpretation of the Constitution to suggest that the Congress or the States do not have the power to prohibit the desecration of the U.S. flag.
