Don't we have bigger Fish to Fry?

Ohh so yesterday the senate voted on a constitutional amendment banning flag burning. My only thought is WHO CARES? umm i'm sorry but aren't we in the middle of a war. If we spent less time trying to pass ridiculous amendments to the constitution, and more time focusing on the important matters we'd be in much better shape.

Hatch says the measure is needed to protect a symbol of freedom and counteract U.S. Supreme Court decisions in 1989 and 1990 that struck down state and federal laws. He cites polls showing public support and non-binding resolutions by 50 state legislatures endorsing the amendment.

The amendment reads, "The Congress shall have power to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States." According to the pro-amendment Citizens Flag Alliance, there were four cases of flag desecration in 2006

Senators also rejected a statute to ban flag desecration. The narrowly worded legislation would have made it a crime to desecrate the flag under certain circumstances, such as when trying to incite violence
