"The First Amendment could be completely abolished by another amendment."

Not without the express permission and vote of each and every Citizen of the United States, excluding no one. The Consitution and first 10 amendments belong to the indidvidual -- not the corporate state. The Constitution is my inheritance. No one can spend my inheritance without my permission, nor can a majority vote, or the ratification of an amemdment remove my inheritance. In a Republic, especially in our peculiar republic, the rights of even the poorest Citizen shall not be stolen, extinguished or infringed upon. Nor can the King or his elite guard cross my threshhold without my permission.

If you really believe otherwise, I'd be interested in knowing why. Do you have a cite from our founders? Federal Papers, or whatever?

jNonsense. The First Amendment can be abolished with a two-thirds vote of the House and Senate and the ratification of two-thirds of the states. There is no basis whatsoever for your assertion that a vote of each and citizen would be needed. The Constitution was not handed down from Mount Sinai! There is nothing in it that cannot be altered through the amendment process.
