So the government is going to dictate religious beliefs now?

Guess they're throwing out the 1st Amendment now too?,

They've been chipping away at the 2nd Amendment.

The 4th Amendment gets pushed to the limit at checkpoints.

The 6th Amendment doesn't apply if you happen to be a white person defending your life and end up killing the black person assaulting you.

The 9th Amendment seems to be forgotten.

The federal government sure seems to ignore the 10th Amendment.





Amendment I - Freedoms, Petitions, Assembly

or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

What about this part of the amendment? It is petitions on the ballet that the people voted for in nearly 33 states. Oregon was included on that list, we amended the state constitution to define marriage as one man, one woman. Then the militant homosexuals sued, the Democrat Attorney General refused to defend, they shopped for a homosexual judge and stroke of a pen, the peoples petition is overturned.
