The conclusion by many in Seattle was that the WTO convention was not worth hosting due to the economic damage caused by the protests.

 The Seattle Times: Nation & World: House approves flag-burning ban; Senate may not
WASHINGTON — A constitutional amendment to outlaw physical desecration of the American flag cleared the House yesterday but faced an uphill battle in the Senate, where an informal survey suggested it is one vote short of passage.
For the language to be added to the Constitution, it must be approved by two-thirds of those present in each chamber, then ratified within seven years by at least 38 state legislatures.
For example, the House and Senate resolutions on flag desecration require approval by three-fourths of the states within seven years of passage by Congress.
