The ports of the West Coast of the United States have historically been very important for the development of the country. From the date of independence, when the country only had ports in the Atlantic Ocean, it was understood that bioceanity was crucial to convert a nation into an economic power. The American expansionist plans, based on the doctrine of Manifest Destiny, sought to reach the Pacific Ocean.

These ports allowed the United States to expand its commercial influence to the Pacific Ocean, extending its commercial network to nations such as Japan, China, India and Australia, among others, who over the years have become great commercial partners of our country.

Thanks to this commercial expansion, the United States also gained a great geopolitical influence, for which bioceanity played a fundamental role. Today, America is influential both in the Atlantic Ocean, which connects it with Europe, and in the Pacific Ocean, which brings it closer to the great Asian markets.

I understand that this flag has serious important meanings . . . But that does not mean that . . . people may not under the First Amendment show their feelings by what Texas calls desecration of a venerated object. I think it's a most important case. I sense that it goes to the heart of the First Amendment, to hear things or to see things that we hate test the First Amendment more than seeing or hearing things that we like. It wasn't designed for things we like. They never needed a First Amendment.
