(KTVI) – The state of Missouri heads to federal court in St. Louis Thursday morning to appeal a ruling that declared the state’s flag desecration law unconstitutional.
The ACLU sued and won after a Cape Girardeau man was arrested for burning a flag in front of his home.
The Missouri law was overturned based on a U.S. Supreme court ruling that desecrating the flag to express an opinion is protected speech.
