Woman gets ticketed for dropping f-bomb in a Walmart

[Garcia Bronco]

You either support free speech or you don't. The amendment is very straight forward and requires little of the ridiculous judicial interpretation that has followed since it was written by James Madison.

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.

I don't see where it gives people the right to drop the f bomb at will. I don't think the founding fathers were walking down the street in tank tops and mullets yelling **** yeah!

Taken in the context that it was written - they were concerned with the right to express religious and political views and not be persecuted as had happened under British rule.

They had no idea that a couple hundred years later that the definitions of every word would be disected and argued over by a bunch of asshat lawyers.

Didn't the state of Virginia outlaw lawyers at one point? I seem to recall reading that somewhere.

And hence, you mark the beginning of the erosion of rights.
