Is flag burning illegal in the United States?
*********
This is an issue that has been heatedly debated in my office yesterday & today. (I must admit, I brought it on by accident...) Anyway, I'm just curious. As of right now, I think it's a freedom protected under the First Amendment, but I'm not entirely sure. If you argue either way, please cite your sources. Thank you!

I was always taught that it IS illegal to burn or deface an American flag, though at the moment I can't cite any sources.
...other then the voices in my head.

Navyhusband says that it is not illegal, for First Amendment reasons. He took me to the link below:

Which isn't to say that he's a proponent, but, you know, legally speaking....
