Abstract

Deciding an important question of Federal Free Speech law, the Ohio Supreme Court has recognized a fire safety justification so easy to invoke that it may be used to punish virtually every instance of flag burning and effigy burning - thereby undercutting this Court's decision in Texas v. Johnson, and creating a question of first impression that requires this Court's review and correction.
