The EO directly contradicts the ruling's protection of such acts unless they incite imminent lawless action or violence. https://www.uscourts.gov/about-federal-courts/educational-resources/educational-activities/first-amendment-activities/texas-v-johnson/facts-and-case-summary-texas-v-johnson https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/08/26/trump-flag-burning-supreme-court-texas-johnson/ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/25/trump-flag-burning-executive-order
