(154,021 posts)You are arguing that it is absolute and that the reams upon reams of laws that have been passed over the last 200+ years are NOT VALID? Is that your argument?
Remind me how fast will the feds use National Security if I happen to come across a defense story... freedom of the press is part of it. It takes COURT CASES to get a lot of that information released
So we have established two things
Warren DeMontague is an Original intent club member.
And secondly, you actually believe that the US Code is not part of US Law.
WOW.
Never in my life I thought I would meet a member of the Federalist Society (They make the exact same arguments when it fits them) on DU... I really never thought I would see this on DU.
There is always a first. Thanks.
I am actually in awe... to be honest.
We are back to this.
We are also at the point that talking to each other is talking across each other. There is NO ARGUMENT that could convince a member of the Federalist Society that they might be wrong on that... so, whether you are or not, in my mind you made the exact same arguments.
Have a good day.
For reference here we go... will break it up into the FIVE establishment clauses
1.- Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
2.- or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
3.- or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;
4.- or the right of the people peaceably to assemble,
5.- and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
