==The Amendment is absolute and not on a sliding scale of majority religious belief and divergence from that belief.

It is not absolute, and it has indeed been turned into a sliding scale, as its meaning has been changed since the founding.

What parts of the Amendment do you feel are not absolute?

Freedom of speech?

Freedom of the press?

Free exercise of religion and non establishment of a state religion?

Freedom to peaceably assemble?

Freedom to petition for a redress of grievances?

What qualifications do you feel were put upon these ABSOLUTE rights, granted to us by our Creator and enshrined by our founders in recognition of Natural Law?
