Logically it doesn't the underlines shows exactly what the first amendment applies to, and since there is no congress
in the states, incorporating it wouldn't do jack to the states… except that the evil incorporation
does use the 1st amendment conjoined with the 14th to bind the states; this means that there is some magic
whereby the actual text is changed and then applied. It is by such that the FedGov (especially the courts) strip us of rights.
Question: when will these evils become insufferable?
I’m sure this judge holds the position that Congress = All government (Federal, State, Local) as do all progressives. I was asking from THAT angle.
