Texas v. Johnson, 491 US 397 (1989)

Justice Thurgood Marshall voted with the majority that Johnson's right to burn the flag during a peaceful protest was protected under the First Amendment as expressive speech, overturning the Texas Venerable Objects Law under which Johnson had been convicted. Marshall did not have a published opinion or make a public statement about the case, however. He signed the opinion of the Court, authored by Justice William J. Brennan, Jr.
