Firat amendment rights - for everybody
Reader comment on item: FBI Cuts Off CAIR Over Hamas Questions

Submitted by Frank Adam, Apr 8, 2009 14:48

Time to run a "test case" or is it a "class case" in which the issue(s) is whether it is within the first amendment freedom of religion:

* to preach against the legitimacy & form as distinct from the policy of an elected government?

*to conspire, plot and use bombs or other weapons against an elected government that itself obeys the first amendment by not interfereing with freedom of worship?

Good luck as the US was founded by refugees from persecuting governments, inherited English treason laws, and initially - at least till independence must have made some obeisance to the Elizabethan and Charles II "Act for the Uniformity in Religion" and the Toleration Act that followed the 1688 English Glorious Revolution, but this last did not apply to Roman Catholics.
