So what you are saying is that the Bill of Rights, as per Algore, are a "living document", which means it can change? Well, lets change it that we take away your freedom to dissent because it's bad for the Bush admin. Lets take away the freedom of religion from Muslims, because up to 10% of them want to kill us. Lets use the Patriot Act to take away our privacy. See where this is going? Down a road to a communist state at the extreme level of change

The Patriot Act already has done this numb nuts. Didn't you read about the denial of due process for american citizens captured on foreign soil? Hello, are you paying attn. to what's going on in the real world or do you just listen to Rush Limbaugh and Bush and eat peanut butter for entertainment?

So the Catechism overrides the Pope? Thusly the Pope is wrong?

All you have to do to understand the 1st amendment is to understand the words.

If you people don't want to understand the meaning of the word "Congress" that's your problem.

"Yes, and pick up some slaves because guess what, the founding fathers had those too!!! Times change drastically, and to believe that we are unable to change or reinterpret laws written 200 years ago to adjust them to those times is assinine." - Bennett

Where did the forefathers say that it was O.K. to own slaves? Where is it written? In fact The Declaration of Independance says just the opposite......"All men are created equal.."

Where ALL the forefathers perfect? Not by a long shot. Did they ALL own slaves....no. So you will never be able to cheapen their accomplishments with that lame arguement.

This is hilarious. Somehow your personal interpretation of law supercedes fact and history?

I'd say "Exactly," but something tells me you don't get sarcasm.

The meaning of Congress is interpreted by legislation put forward by the federal gov't which was amended by the 14th amendment to include state gov'ts which also branches down into state run agencies you friggen retard.

Ya know that whole civil war thing made people realize that they wanted the bill of rights apply to the states b/c darkies were getting denied their rights.

.....I can't believe you are so dense.

What is "Congress"?

I'm shocked that you cannot simply state what the forefathers meant by the word "Congress".

This whole debate has nothing to do with the modern "interpretation" of some liberal activist judge.

What did the forefathers mean by the word "Congress"?

What is "Congress"?
