"Worrying that banning flag desecration would inhibit free speech reveals a misunderstanding of the flag's fundamental nature."
Nature
"It's not written in the Constitution or anything else.... Congress, just out of the clear blue sky, said the airwaves belong to the people, which means, in essence, that it belongs to Congress."
People
"I was faced more with apathy than opposition."
Apathy
"Giving people what they want isn't just good radio; it's also the right way to run a country."

"A corollary is that, when laws are out of touch with the people, those laws can and should be changed - from the most simple local regulations to the highest law of the land, our federal Constitution."
People
"The concept that you cannot own the airwaves has caused far more harm than good."
Harm
"Without amendments we would never even have had the Bill of Rights."
Rights
"Martin Luther King, Jr. didn't carry just a piece of cloth to symbolize his belief in racial equality; he carried the American flag."
Equality
"It is the will of the American people that we have a right to protect our flag and this can only be accomplished by passing a Constitutional amendment."

Values

"This is what you get when you found a political system on the family values of Henry VIII. At a point in the not-too-remote future, the stout heart of Queen Elizabeth II will cease to beat. At that precise moment, her firstborn son will become head of state, head of the armed forces, and head of the Church of England. In strict constitutional terms, this ought not to matter much. The English monarchy, as has been said, reigns but does not rule. From the aesthetic point of view it will matter a bit, because the prospect of a morose bat-eared and chinless man, prematurely aged, and with the most abysmal taste in royal consorts, is a distinctly lowering one."
