Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.


What does the above mean to you? this is how I read it:

1. Congress cannot establish a religion (including global warming a religeon?).
2. It cannot prohibit anyone from exercising their religion, eg,
wearing a cross to school, carrying a bible, praying at high school
football games, building crosses that can be seen from a highway, etc.
3. "Abridging", that's an interesting word. That's not just censoring,
it means not even tinkering with anyone's speech, including,but not
limited ot, the press.
4. Citizens have the right to assemble/demonstrate as long as they
remain peaceful
5. We have the right to complain to govt without fear of retaliaton.
6. The Founders condensed all of the above in a simple, easy to
understand, single sentence.
7. Supreme Court Justices are notoriously poor readers.


To be continued tomorrow.
