Feingold votes against the Durbin Amendment which
prohibits demonstration at funerals of deceased members of the Armed Forces, makes it a crime to desecrate the American flag, but does not change the Bill of Rights.

I do support freedom of speech...but this is a blurry line between free speech and harassment.

11. Durbin needs to have his head examined
Dems should walk out of Congress and shut it down until the GOP starts getting serious about governing.
