Senate works
By The Associated Press
South Carolinians who want to burn the U.S.,
Confederate or state flag would have to consider
whether it could "incite or produce imminent
lawless action" endangering people and
property, according to a bill passed by a Senate
panel TTiursday.
A Senate Judiciary subcommittee amended a
bill sponsored by Sen. Ernest Passailaigue, DCharleston,
and sent it to the full committee for
consideration next week.
The measure is the first discussed in the Le- ,
gislature since a U.S. Supreme Court decision ,
in June upholding flag burning as a form of political
protest protected by the First Amendment,
which guarantees freedom of speech, religion
and assembly.
After the court's ruling, the General Assembly
adopted a resolution supporting President
Bush's call for a constitutional amendment
against flag burning. The non-binding resolution
also expressed state lawmakers' "extreme displeasure"
with the ruling.
The Supreme Court's decision also had the
practical effect of rendering South Carolina's
flag burning statute unconstitutional.
The law now makes it a misdemeanor, punishable
by a maximum fine of $100 and a
30-day prison sentence, to "publicly mutilate,
deface, defile, defy, jeer at, trample upon or
cast contempt, either by word or act," upon the
U.S., Confederate or state flag.
When the statute became law in 1916, it
mentioned only the state flag. Six years later,
the American flag earned protection. In 1958,
lawmakers amended the statute to include the
Confederate flag.

"These are unfounded, unproven ||^Kp||M
allegations that have no substance,"
he told The State. "We ab- jMHj|||R

Paul Ward, general counsel for
USC, declined comment on suit
Thursday, saying it was against the liijjMMB
university's policy to talk about
pending litigation.

procedures concerning sexual harassmcnt,

A Columbia community activist, Brett
Bursey, is believed to be the last person
charged with desecrating the flag in South Carolina,
according to the state attorney general's
office.
Bursey burned the Confederate flag outside
the home of then-University of South Carolina
President Thomas Jones in 1969. The case was
never prosecuted, and the charge is pending.
Last year, Bush proposed such an amendment
last year to undo the Supreme Court decision.
But Democrats on Capitol Hill pushed legislation
banning flag burning to avoid amending
the Constitution.
Bush allowed the bill passed by Congress to
become law without signing it, saying that he
feared it would not pass constitutional muster.
Pr>nvirtir?n nnHpr the law Carries a maximum
one-year prison sentence.
In the first legal challenge to the Flag Protection
Act, a U.S."District judge in Seattle ruled
the anti-desecration law unconstitutional because
it violated the First Amendment.
Less than a month later, a federal judge in
the nation's capital dismissed charges against
three defendants accused of violating the statute.
The judge again cited the guarantee of
freedom of speech and rejected Justice Department
arguments that the law was intended to
protect the flag as a symbol rather than to regulate
speech.
Last week, the Supreme Court raised the possibility
it will decide by early summer the constitutionality
of a flag burning law.
The court partially granted a Bush administration
request for speedy consideration of
the law, ordering challengers of the law to file
legal briefs by Monday.

The justices will wait until they receive those
briefs before taking any further action in a pair
of administration appeals to overturn the lower
court decisions.
State Sen. Sam Stilwell, R-Greenville, said
the Judiciary subcommittee tried to "read between
the lines" of the original Supreme Court
ruling. "If you could couch the law in such a
way to prevent lawless action or destruction of
property or danger to people, then you can prevent
them from misusing the flag."
Under the bill, a person could not "knowingly
utilize" the three flags in a manner "calcu
iaiea to inciie or proauce imminent lawless action
resulting in danger to persons or property
of others and is likely to incite or produce such
result."
In effect, someone wishing to burn a flag
would have to consider the consequences of the
action, Stilwell said.
"It's just the same old thing as you have the
right of free speech but you can't holler fire in
a crowded theater," he said.
Sen. John Courson, R-Columbia, said the
measure sends "a very strong message out to
anyone who wants to abuse the flags listed in
the bill. The General Assembly in this state
feels very strongly that these banners should not
be abused.
"When one burns the flag of the United
States or of the other entities listed, that action
is used to incite people to react in a very negative
way and this is what we're trying to address
in this bill," Courson said.
The bill does not change the penalties for
violators.
