5-4 that flag burning was a form of "symbolic speech" that was protected by the
First Amendment. The ruling was granted after an appeal from Gregory Johnson,
who had been convicted by a Texas court of violating a state law that prohibited
the "desecration of a venerated object" such as the US flag.
