Mr. D. at MinnPost and over at the Neighborhood points out that it’s been a rough week for the First Amendment, what with Kathleen Sibelius calling down the smack on Obamacare critics and Justice Breyer pondering making the whole nation a crowded theater (for purposes of protecting Qu’rans, anyway).

And he asks an interesting question:

I don’t mean to be flip about this, but let’s ask a hypothetical: would it be okay to burn a Koran if it were wrapped in an American flag? And if not, on what basis should the Koran (or a Bible) be afforded greater protection than an American flag?

That whole “government of laws, not men” thing is looking pretty sick these days.
