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.

WAKE UP, AMURRICA!

What part of this guarantee of freedom of religion and speech is NOT under attack and being ignored by courts across the land? And what is not being attacked or ignored, is parsed to impossible limits. Burning of the Flag, despicable an act though it may be, or flipping someone off, is protected as "free speech", yet the Feingold/McCain campaign finance reform is in direct contradiction to the spirit and letter of this Amendment, and not found to be unconstitutional. This issue must be revisited again.

..."guarantee of freedom of religion ..."

The courts have changed this to mean, guarantee of freedom FROM religion!
