Johnson* with "burglary and arson", which has never been legal**: *https://www.uscourts.gov/educational-resources/educational-activities/facts-and-case-summary-texas-v-johnson **https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=459.&lawCode=PEN **https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=451&lawCode=PEN
