And that's what the First Amendment is about." ... WFB: "May I make a confession? I frankly don't much worry about the flag issue, but here's what I worry about tremendously: that is our disposition to say, 'If the Supreme Court says it's so, it's so.' I wrote a book about 17 years ago in which I said, 'Before I die, I want to see a constitutional amendment that simply says no to the Supreme Court, and I don't much care which one.' "
