Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano couldn’t help but laugh on Tuesday after President-elect Donald Trump suggested that citizenship could be revoked as punishment for burning the American flag.

Appearing on Fox Business later in the morning, Napolitano let out a belly laugh before host Stuart Varney could finish reading Trump’s tweet.

“There are two Supreme Court opinions that say I can burn my flag, I can’t burn yours,” Napolitano explained. “Burning the American flag is a form of protected freedom of speech as reprehensible as it is, as demonstrative of a hatred of American values as it is — I fully agree with the president elect on that.”

“But you cannot prosecute for it,” he added. “The reason I chuckled is the penalty of stripping citizenship has been prohibited in the United States of America since 1789!”

“Get a new Supreme Court and get a different ruling,” Varney suggested.
