Along that line of thinking it's now illegal to burn the US flag.

No, it is legal to burn the US flag assuming it's your flag (in the United States)

Sort of, there are still laws against it in almost every state.

Wow, it is infuriating that people are still getting harassed for that. However, the fact that it is constitutionally protected basically precludes any of those charges from being pursued. Apparently, sometimes flag burners are harassed with other petty crimes like theft/littering.

Those aren't enforceable, and haven't been for decades.
