Colin Powell Re: an Amendment to ban flag burning.

Quote

I understand the powerful sentiment in state legislatures for such an amendment. I feel the same sense of outrage. But I step back from amending the Constitution to relieve that outrage. The First Amendment exists to insure that freedom of speech and expression applies not just to that with which we agree or disagree, but also that which we find outrageous. I would not amend that great shield of democracy to hammer a few miscreants.

I like this guy more all the time.

I agree, he would be a great Pres tho.

Well, Im a southern man, born and bred....It would be an honor to cast my vote for a man of such character, and hard earned distinction.

There's no way Dubya would have Powell as his VP in 2004.

One word. Assassination.
