Actually, this violates TWO aspects of that....

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The right to peaceably assemble is associated with petitioning the government for redress of grievances. It doesn’t stand on it’s own.

Thank you, metmom! You are correct and I agree too.

I debated about going there and thought I'd limit my defense of freedom to the one religious based issue. To peaceably assemble is a right that applies to all Americans. All people for that matter. Thanks again.

But this has nothing to do with Congress.
