My View of "It": Bill of No Rights?

Apr 4, 2007

Bill of No Rights?

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution is a part of the United States Bill of Rights. It prohibits the federal legislature from making laws that establish a state religion or prefer a certain religion (the "Establishment Clause"), prohibit free exercise of religion (the "Free Exercise Clause"), infringe the freedom of speech, infringe the freedom of the press, limit the right to assemble peaceably, or limit the right to petition the government for a redress of grievance.
Having said all this, I would refer you to a previous Post here about a blogger from ketucky: In this case the Judge refused to dismiss the charges against Gov. Ernie Fletcher.
This led to an interesting question posed by Digital Nomad:

Should we have to risk imprisonment for stating our views about Policies, politics and our Elected Official? Is this a direct violation of our First Amendment Rights? What do you think and what is the fuss all about anyway?

A blogosphere challenge initiated by Brian and Carol. Here's how it works: Send an email to brian@bravehumans.com with the subject: Yop! In the body of the email list the name of your weblog, and the URL. Your weblog will be added to this Website Blogs Joined So Far: 253 Blogs Left to Go: 29,747 Tell your friends who blog about it, and urge them to send in their weblog as well. When the list reaches 30,000, a date and a word will be listed on the page. On that date, every weblog on the list agrees to make a single post with the word as the title. The content of the post should be about what you want for the world, whatever that may be. The purpose is not to make a particular political statement, but simply to make a noise. If 30,000 weblogs all post the same unusual word, it WILL be heard. Have you ever wanted to shout to the world? Here's your chance.
