- ghaff 6y agoYou might want to actually read the first amendment: Congress shall make no law [emphasis added] 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. (In various ways that aren't very relevant to the current discussion, this generally applies to states as well.)
- xref 6y agoYou’ve gotten some downvotes so figure I’d paste the actual text of the first amendment here so people know exactly what you’re referring to: > 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.
