HILLARY BACKS 'BAN' ON FLAG-BURNING
(But not the amendment)
By IAN BISHOP Post Correspondent
December 5, 2005 -- WASHINGTON ? Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has quietly signed on to a Republican measure that makes it illegal to desecrate the American flag ? a move that will boost her credibility in the conservative "red" states.
Clinton is the sole co-sponsor of Utah Republican Sen. Bob Bennett's new legislation that outlaws flag-trashing without addressing the issue of a Constitutional amendment to ban it.
It's a delicate dance on a longtime hot-button issue that has major implications in a potential 2008 White House bid for Clinton as she tries to woo heartland voters.
