As the distinguished chairman of the Judiciary Committee has pointed out. this constitutional amendment is so broadly worded that it would allow States and the Congress itself to write statutes that abridge free speech. And there is nothing more basic to our democracy than the right to free speech. Mr. President. this is not an issue of respect for the flag. As the son of an immigrant family who fled tyranny for the promise and freedom of America. I stand second to no one in my respect and reverence for our flag. This country has been good to me and my family beyond my wildest expectations. and it has been that way for millions of us.
