Flag burning amendment passes House

A constitutional amendment to ban flag burning moved one step closer to reality Wednesday when it passed the House by a 286-130 vote. Among those voting for the bill were the two area congressmen, Republican Roy Blunt and Democrat Ike Skelton, both of whom were among the bill's 186 co-sponsors.
An informal poll taken by the Associated Press indicates it will have a harder time clearing the Senate.
