Its happen only in America :P -

"In 1989, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 5-4 decision declaring flag-burning to be a form of social expression protected under the Constitution's freedom of speech protections.

Now when its in news that U.S. Senate will once again consider a proposed constitutional amendment giving Congress the power to ban the burning or similar desecration of the American flag.

Speaking against the amendment, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-New York, 8th) stated, "If the flag needs protection at all, it needs protection from members of Congress who value the symbol more than the freedoms that the flag represents."
