Whose Constitution is it anyway?

[Boltlady]

According to OUR Constitution it is a matter of free speech to be able to burn the flag. That is OUR Constitution. It should be an offense subject to arrest if a person burns the flag who is NOT a citizen of this country.

If a person is not a citizen then any of the rights granted by OUR Constitution should not apply.

I think the "equal protection" clause grants free speech not only to citizens, but also resident aliens, foreign diplomatic guests, Lady Gaga, etc.
