3. The majority way back in Jefferson's day in fact voted for this president who had church services in the halls of congress and decided that the marine band would be nice for the music in those services. Magin that. Nowadays the majority wouldn't think of such a thing.
So because the majority decided to thumb their noses at the Constitution in the past, we should go ahead and do it now? Or worse, change the Constitution in a way that goes against its original purpose?
If we are going to change the Constitution to restrict some groups' freedoms perhaps we should go a little further to help out the majority. Hmmm...
How about repealing the first ammendment so that only the Christian religion is allowed? I find myself continually suprised that the political Christians aren't pushing for this. Wasn't the breaking of the first Commandment the main reason God kept punishing Israel?
Maybe we could get enough votes to reinstitute slavery. The Muslims would be a good group to put forward as potential servants.
