To understand why Routh's actions could be considered an attempted assassination under federal law, even though he did not fire his weapon or get physically close to Trump, it's important to examine the legal definition of a criminal attempt.

Legal Definition of Attempt

In criminal law, an "attempt" to commit a crime occurs when a person:

1. Has the specific intent to commit that crime, and
2. Takes a substantial step toward completing the crime, even if they ultimately fail or are prevented from carrying it out.

The key elements are the person's criminal intent and taking a substantial step that goes beyond mere preparation.

Serendipity

Raindrops danced upon the pavement, a gentle staccato amidst the city’s thrumming pulse. The air was crisp and cool, carrying the earthy scent of wet asphalt. Liam hurried along the glistening sidewalk, his coat collar turned up against the damp. A vibrant flash caught his eye - a striking crimson scarf, draped around the neck of a woman across the street. She moved with a lithe grace, her raven hair cascading down her back. In a heartbeat, she vanished, swallowed by the bustling crowd.

Liam’s steps faltered, his gaze lingering on the spot where she had disappeared. A small, wistful smile played on his lips as he continued on his way.

The bell chimed merrily as he ducked into his favorite café, shaking the rain from his tousled hair. He settled into a cozy corner table, his hands cupped around a steaming mug, the rich aroma of coffee mingling with the enticing scent of freshly baked pastries.

The bell chimed again. Liam glanced up, his breath catching in his throat. There she was, the enchan

Flag Burning and the First Amendment: The Legal History of U.S. Flag Desecration Laws

On a sweltering Dallas evening in August 1984, as the Republican National Convention raged inside the city's Reunion Arena, a 26-year-old member of the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade named Gregory Lee Johnson set fire to the American flag. As the flag burned, protesters chanted "America, the red, white, and blue, we spit on you."¹ Johnson's inflammatory act, and his subsequent arrest and conviction for flag desecration under Texas law, would spark a legal battle that ascended to the Supreme Court and forever transformed the debate over the American flag and the meaning of free speech.

The iconic photograph of Johnson's flag burning protest distills the raw emotion of an issue that has smoldered for decades in American law and politics. On one side are those who see the physical desecra
