Government Removal: Scalia and Supreme Court

government removal: Top congressional Republicans quickly distanced themselves from Trump views, according to Metro News. Trump words, expressed on Twitter early Tuesday morning, put him at odds with the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who was in the majority in the 1989 decision that protected flag burning. But the Supreme Court has held that flag-burning is a form of speech protected by the First Amendment, and the Constitution forbids the government removal of citizenship for a natural-born American. Trump has called Scalia, who died in February, a great judge and said he would appoint someone to fill Scalia seat who is much like the conservative legal icon. It was not immediately clear what prompted the tweet, but just an hour before, FOX News had aired a story about college students who burned a flag. Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag if they do, there must be consequences perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail! Trump said in a tweet. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
