Lopez's crime should not have been punishable under the Commerce Crime and that was exactly what the ruling upheld. The Commerce Crime had nothing to do with the Gun Free School Zone Act and therefore it was unconstitutional. Great discussion.…

    The Supreme Court case Texas v. Johnson was fought between the state of Texas and Gregory Lee Johnson over a right that Johnson claimed to be protected by the 1st Amendment of the Bill of Rights. Texas argued that burning the American flag was not an act protected by the 1st Amendment because it causes great dissent and conflict. Johnson argued that its controversial nature is exactly why it is protected by the 1st Amendment; the 1st Amendment was added to the Constitution specifically to protect one’s unpopular opinion. This court case interested me because I found that I had a hard time deciding whether the state of Texas or Johnson was right; the case intrigued me because it made me think.
