Texas V. Johnson Majority Opinion Analysis
On my opinion i believe we all have equal rights so it's fair to negotiate. The differences in the articles “Texas v. Johnson Majority Opinion” and “American FLag Stands for Tolerance”, is that there are the different sides of rights. The thing is they choose between giving the rights to the society or not. Also they have their side that appose the case and the side that agrees with the case. Another thing is they are similar cases because they each are cases about the American Flag. Last thing i want to talk about is that everybody has their different opinions but it all depends on the opinions of the cases that will give the Answer. So these articles are the cases where a lot of people start to think. The differences in the people are the two different sides. One side is a side that will want anything because they have their rights, but in this case this side is the side that wants to allow the burning of flags. The other side are the ones that want the respect for their country, but in this case it is about how the people don't like the burning of the flag. Also the people fight a lot for their rights and they …show more content…
Some accepted because they knew it was their right to be able to do burn the flag. Then again on the other hand others won't like the decision because they're too proud of their country. The side that wants to allow the flag burn would be fought against the ones who don't want it pretty hard because people that love their country will do anything. The author of the article agrees that we have right to have our decision to burn the flag. Another thing to know is that the flag is a symbol of expression of our rights the author says. So he is agreeing that if the flag burn is allowed it shows us our rights that we have. Last is the thing is the flag burn will have a lot of bad comments on it because of the disrespect to others who love the

    Supreme Court Case: Branzburg V. Hayes

    Branzburg v. Hayes was the only ever supreme court case to deal with reporter’s privilege. The ruling of this case was that reporter’s had no right to hide their sources in a court case. The chief justice at the time,Warren Burger, made a point that reporters, “like other citizens, [must] respond to relevant questions put to them in the course of a valid grand jury investigation or criminal trial (Fargo,2010).” With a decision that was five for and four against, this case was not an open and shut many thought it to be. Calling into play a look at the first amendment and what it really means when it says the freedom of speech. Interpreting a document that is more than two hundred years old is not an easy task to accomplish, having to combine…

    Case Analysis: The Tennessee Vs. Lane Case

    Before 2004, courthouses and other public buildings differed from how they are today. There was one thing that these buildings did not have, a handicapped entrance. At this time, it could be very embarrassing to be handicapped because you could do nothing for yourself. If you wanted to enter a public building, you had to ask someone to carry you in, or even worse, you might have to crawl up stairs to enter! This was a definite problem that had been around for years, however, no one addressed it.…

    The article talks about how the Supreme Court based a law by a 5-to-4 that a person can show their disagreement with the governmental policies by burning the American flag. It gives a vivid example of the other side of the law in china where people who peacefully express disagreement with the government policies may be slaughtered.

    At first, I was in favor of protecting the First Amendment rights of the students who had written the articles. They have the right to express their opinions and speech in a public forum. Then I had to think of how it could affect those that the article was written about. While I still favor the protection of students’ rights, the more I read the details of case of all involved, it became a more loosely interpreted opinion. For some, the article is not seen as a public forum because it is only intended for the students who attend the school. However, it does make its way off campus and into private homes because the students are…

    Flag Burning

    Many people are offended by the act of publicly burning an American flag and feel it should be outlawed based on the fact that it is offensive to the citizens of this country. Although this may be true, people still have the right to protest. This was upheld in a Supreme Court case Texas v. Johnson, where the defendant Mr. Johnson was arrested for publicly burning a flag outside the Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas. After being arrested Mr. Johnson was convicted of setting fire to a flag during a protest and chanting with other protesters; "America, the red, white, and blue, we spit on you"(Texas v. Johnson). He appealed his claim to the Texas Supreme Court of Appeals where they overturned the conviction based on the fact that he was exercising his first amendment right. One of the Supreme Court justices went on to say, "If there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that the government may not…

    Zebruary Persuasive Speech

    This article has an impact on all of us. I don’t agree that the word ‘Redskins’ should be banned in the state of California. If this ban would travel around the world, a lot of schools would have to change their name. Our school has the Redskins name and for the name Redskins to be banned, we would have to change the name of our school. I don’t know why people are offended by this particular word, there are so many other problems in the world that we should be focusing on. People are whining to the world about all this when we should be focusing on how many wars and battles are going on in the world right now. I don’t believe that the word ‘Redskins’ should be banned, because there is a lot of names and schools that we would have…
