Again, - the source is the Constitution itself.

False, question beggar.

"The first amendment to the Constitution prohibits Congress from abridging 'the right of the people to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.' This, like the other amendments proposed and adopted at the same time, was not intended to limit the powers of the State governments in respect to their own citizens, but to operate upon the National government alone." -- U.S. v. Cruickshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1875)

Another erroneous states 'rights' opinion, written in the KKK era. It is not the law. - And,- it is directly contradicted by the Preamble to the BOR's.

Our constitution is the "law of the land". - Case closed.
