I have divided the section on "the case" into three subsections as seemed to me useful in presenting the major issues brought up. If this organization can be improved upon or the subsection headings reworded in a superior manner, I am all for it and encourage such action.

Additionally, information on the concurring opinion and the two dissents ought to be included in the article. I may get to that but encourage others to add that information, along with making any other changes, modifications, and deletions as may be deemed improvements to the article.

missing word? Struck down

Congress did, however, pass the 1989 Flag Protection Act, which was also struck down by the same majority of justices as Johnson (in an opinion also written by Justice Brennan), in United States v. Eichman, 496 U.S. 310 (1990).

Are we missing a word in the above line or is that leagalize? Ht1848 18:46, 2004 Nov 8 (UTC)


      • I am not commenting on the grammar or word structure, but I would like to say thanks so much to whoever wrote this article. This is a very clear and easily understandable document.

Notes Section

Is there anything in here that should be added to the Subsequent Developments section or can I get a second on deleting it? Jewisharific 23:35, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Random thoughts and questions

Anyone know what ever happened to Gregory Johnson, after the trial? Maybe not relevant to this article, but I can't find this information anywhere. He's probably around 50 years old now; I wonder if he's still invovled with communist groups. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.137.221.0 (talk) 03:25, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting "vandalism"

Hello,

I am not sure how to go about it, but this revision: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Texas_v._Johnson&oldid=174242522, is destructive, and I'm not sure how to go about reversing that so others can view the information as well. I am reading an older version, but I figured someone should be aware of the issue. Thank you.--198.37.20.140 08:57, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

POV

The entire "The Supreme Court's decision" seriously invokes the writer's point of view, arguing against the dissenting opinions. It needs to be overhauled. 68.63.170.169 (talk) 10:01, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
