re: they need to be put in walled Reservations and prevented from breeding. . . .

Ah, yes. The great defenders of the First Amendment would be the ones to lock us up. The nitwit probably doesn’t even appreciate the irony.

...especially since these are the same people who were SO sure that Bush was going to impose martial law, cancel elections, and herd them all into reeducation camps (aka Walmart detention centers), none of which ever happened -- nor would it EVER have happened.

Obviously you don't understand the real meaning of the amendment. Like most people who aren't familiar with the latest and most accurate methods of interpreting the Constitution you probably think it was meant to protect verbalized thoughts and printed political opinion, which is understandable since you might be led to believe that by the literal words. But you must keep in mind that the authors were a well meaning but semi-literate, poorly educated, motley gang of backwoods hicks who were barely conversant in the King's English of that era, and were of course unable to clearly express their ideas in written words and phrases that ordinary American citizens would recognize today.

However, thankfully the SCOTUS has exhaustively researched the intent of the authors and has determined that what they actually intended to protect is the unalienable right of young ladies to dance naked on stage, publishers to market hard core porn, and Hollywood to film couples fornicating. Contrary to what your post sarcasticly implies, I'm sure that DUmmies everywhere wholeheartedly believe in and support the 1st Amendment now that it's real intent has been clarified by the court.
