Hillary vs First Amendment

From Richard Cohen at WaPo. Sen. Clinton has co-sponsored a bill that would make flag burning illegal. She's pandering to visceral instincts at the expense of principle here, and has the singular advantage of her husband to help blunt liberal criticism. Together, as an undeclared team, they can leave the impression she has the full spectrum covered—he went left on Kyoto in Montreal recently, she follows up by going right a few days later. Look for them to continue the hedging strategy as 2008 approaches.
