.. is this thread a question ? HaHa

If you look at the First Amendment again, then focus on the first and most important word of the First Amendment ... "Congress" ... it should all make sense to you.

Think Thou Shall Nots for Congress. The founders in fact were talking about the Congress, NOT the states or the people. We the people, made the Laws of this Land .. hence amendments and bill of rights.

If you have a hard time understanding the First Amendment ... reread the Tenth Amendment .. it should clear things up 4 U.

Tenth Amendment ~ ""The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.""

Congress can NOT regulate speech, religion, press, abridging peaceably to assemble or to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.... it doesn't have that power. That power trickles down to the States and if f they choose not to exercise that power, the people retain it. By the looks of things today, our Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration are meaningless to office holders who oath to defend us via executive, judicial and legislative.

Also note the First Amendment is absolute. It allows "no law" to be passed by Congress. See also: Tenth Amendment.

Hope this helps. :o)~
