The Flag Burning Amendment

I heard commentary similar to this one on the news this morning. An anchor referred the Flag Burning Amendment as "a controversial and possibly unconstitutional amendment." How an amendment to the constitution can be unconstitutional I'll never know...

Oh and just to clarify things, the FBA gives me the willies. I can see some merit in establishing federal regulatory rights over national symbols like the flag, but I can't see any way to reconcile it with free political speech as a whole.
