Neither should have been necessary. but while the Supreme Court is an Indispensable branch of government. on occasion the people have to "explain" the Constitution to It. Although it is not incorporated within the text of the Constitution itself. Americans cite the pledge of allegiance to the flag "and to the republic for which It stands." The republic is based upon the Constitution. which all naturalized citizens and those serving in military and official positions are sworn to defend. While nativeborn citizens are not otherwise required formally to make such an oath or to pledge allegiance to the flagand indeed are free to refuse to do either without legal sanctionneither should they be free physically to desecrate the ultimate symbol of the Nation.... There always will be a fraw demented souls who may desecrate the flag or violate any law.
