Amendment I
"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. "

Let's examine this for a bit, since it brings up another point:
Congress can not respect an establishment of religion. That means that if the president decided that this country was Evangelical Christian, that is in violation of our Bill of Rights. NOW, if the president wants to speak to spiritual advisers, reads a religious text and prays to decide what he should do, and says that God will help guide him, that is not establishing a religion. That is a man going with what he believes in, which is a right that is God-given and granted by the Constution, if you go by our way of govt.
But another thing that really intrigues me is when these protestors say that we have a right to protests, that they are right, they do, as long as its PEACEFULLY. Once they start infringing on MY rights and the rights of others, like a few are doing now, that is the time for the police to break out the collapsable riot batons.
