[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

What part of the First Amendment do you not understand?

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.

-- What part of the First Amendment do you not understand? --

There is nothing in there that prohibits zoning, for one thing. And zoning is essentially based on use and traffic.

Assume you live in some rural or suburban setting, maybe 2 acre lots. Then, out of the blue, your new neighbor, who bought the 2 acres next to you, starts holding daily religious services that draw 2,000 people. Can you invoke zoning, or does your neighbor's 1st amendment right trump you?
