One Senator Says That The 1st Amendment Does Not Apply To Individuals, And Does Not Stop There

Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) says the 1st Amendment’s religious liberty protections don’t apply to individuals. On MSNBC last week, Wisconsin’s junior Senator claimed that the Constitution’s protection of the free exercise of religion extends only to religious institutions, and that individual’s do not have a right to the free exercise of their own religion.

During the MSNBC appearance, which was covered by Breitbart and NewsBusters, Baldwin appeared clueless to the fact that the free exercise clause of the 1st Amendment has already been found to apply to individuals – not just churches, synagogues, mosques or other institutions of faith and worship.

Church buildings. “They” have more rights than people according to Tammy.

Does Tammy know what country she’s a Senator for? Perhaps she travels a lot to communist countries and got confused?

No... she’s just another example of the left that hates God, America, and anyone who doesn’t think likewise. How the he’ll do these people get elected?!

The Crazies are on a Roll twisting the Constitution around themselves and destroying it at the same time

“...and that individual’s do not have a right to the free exercise of their own religion.”

So when do the burkas and the veils hit the bonfire?

Breitbart and Drudge are pretty good at covering issues like this. If a Republican politician took on Tammy Baldwin over this, I’m pretty sure I’d hear about it on one of those sites. And if not there, it would get picked up at Instapundit or here.

And these are the people that are elected to represent us.

Wrong. This is a person elected to represent the moochers and looters against the rest of us.

Remember years ago when Rush would play something stupid that Jocelyn Elders said (i.e. anything she said), and Rush’s head would be in that little bubble in the corner making “Huh?” and “What?” faces?

That’s what I’m channeling right now.

Remember six degrees of Kevin Bacon?
It’s now six degrees of butt-sore homos.

You may be on to something.

Tammy Baldwin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 


Tammy Suzanne Green Baldwin (born February 11, 1962) is the junior United States Senator from Wisconsin and a member of theDemocratic Party. She previously served as the U.S. Representative from Wisconsin's 2nd congressional district from 1999 to 2013, as well as serving three terms in the Wisconsin Assembly representing the 78th district.

Baldwin defeated her Republican opponent, former Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson, in the 2012 U.S. Senate election. She is the first woman elected to represent Wisconsin in the Senate and the first openly gay U.S. Senator in history. As of 2012, Baldwin's voting record makes her one of the most liberal members of Congress.[1]

I say all elected officials should go through and pass:
1) A basic competency test.
2) A basic civics test, including knowledge about the constitution.
3) A criminal background check.
Before they even run for office and before every re-election would be good.

That would eliminate 90% of current candidates, though that might be a good thing.

Yep, what better way to stifle and penalize “hate speech” then to say you don’t have the right to say it.

Considering this is coming on the heels the recent SCOTUS ruling, yes it would be a logical next step for the homonazis

She was born in Madison and:

“Baldwin was the first openly lesbian member of the Wisconsin Assembly and one of a very few openly gay politicians in the country at the time. ...”

Evidence of the dumbing down of American politics since 1850.

It is reflected everywhere one looks on the political spectrum--from the oratorical collapse from Webster, Clay & Calhoun, to the thirty second-sound bite; to the insane demands for more & more bureaucratic intrusions into daily decision making; to the confusion of purpose over the Southern border; to the loss of perception for any multi-generational purpose.
