Response: “As someone who is intimately familiar with the facts in this case, and as the person who actually filed the complaint, I find it surprising that the law school administrator involved in the episode was found “not responsible for any policy violation.” The conclusion seems irreconcilable with the information I have. . . . Needless to say, it is a serious matter when a pedagogic legal institution experiences lawlessness from within.”

If you actually read the Executive Order, it doesn’t do nearly as much as critics seem to think. Here it is, and here is the key bit:

Notwithstanding the Supreme Court’s rulings on First Amendment protections, the Court has never held that American Flag desecration conducted in a manner that is likely to incite imminent lawless action or that is an action amounting to “fighting words” is constitutionally protected. See Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397, 408-10 (1989).

He’s not trying to override the First Amendment caselaw, and he’s not making new law here. He is suckering Democrats into burning a lot of flags, and endorsing flag-burning, in order to “stick it to Trump.”

MICHAEL WALSH: Time to Dump ‘Journalism:’ “When did reporters become ‘journalists’? When I started out at the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle in 1972, nobody called himself a “journalist.” We were reporters, and proud of it. ‘Journalist’ had a snooty air to it and seemed to be reserved for the newspaper trade’s bigdome who wrote editorials. The rest of us wrote news stories.”
