I'm curious - what was your take on the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission? Oh wait, it's right here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=160591
Well I've got news for you - all your opinions about that are wrong because the Supreme Court disagreed with you.  |
When you start interpreting the 1st Amendment and 2nd Amendments with such certainty, it's helpful to point out that the branch of government who interprets the law has already done the interpreting.

There! No one is forced to pray and no one is forced not to pray. Perfect!!
That's how it should be done.
