<BODY>
<DIV>Lance, I can't think of any language in the Constitution which says that
Congress cannot make any law that Congress is immune to. It's certainly not in
the First Amendment. Please quote the specific language, and we could have some
fun kicking around what it means.</DIV>

greenBubble, Jeanene, whom else it may conern...<BR><BR>The reason I said
"Congress shall make no law..." and left it trailing<BR>was,<BR><BR>1) The
point under discussion, or the relevant implication in my mind, I<BR>forget
which, was that when the First Amendment says "Congress shall pass<BR>no
law..." (regarding whatever comes next), it categorically denies<BR>Congress
jurisdiction over that subject matter. It does not, as some<BR>schools of
judicial philosophy would have it, mean "Congress shall pass<BR>no law...
unless Congress and the Supreme Court agree that, on balance,<BR>the
government's interest in passing the law is greater than the
people's<BR>interest in not having the law passed."<BR><BR>2) I assumed that
the well-informed, patriotic, citizens who populate<BR>this discussiong
group, would know quite well what it is that "Congress<BR>shall pass no law"
about:<BR>
<DIV class=im><BR>"respecting an establishment of
religion,"<BR><BR></DIV>"nor prohibiting the free exercise
thereof..."<BR><BR>"or abridging the freedom of speech..."<BR><BR>"or of the
press..."<BR><BR>"or the right of the people peacably to
assemble..."<BR><BR>"and to petition their government for redress of
grievances."<BR><BR>Again, my point was, on these matters, Congress shall
pass NO law, not<BR>some law, not a little bit of law, not laws infringining
in small ways,<BR>NO LAW.<BR><BR>Justice Hugo Black, the civil libertarian
former senator from Alabama,<BR>was quite eloquent on this point, and quite
forceful. When Hugo Black<BR>Antonin Scalia agree, they are almost always
correct. When they disagree,<BR>the man from Alabama usually has it
right.<BR><BR>Siarlys<BR><BR>On Sat, 3 Jul 2010 22:35:23 -0400 "Discussion

<DIV class=h5>> siarlys<BR>> i think jeanene takes exception to your
frequent quote of half a<BR>> sentence: "Congress shall make no
law, " implying that congress<BR>> shall<BR>> pass no laws at
all, which is obviously not the constitution's<BR>> intent at<BR>>
all.<BR>><BR>> greenBubble<BR>><BR>><BR>> Subject: Re:
[GCFL-discuss] The Poll Taker<BR>><BR>> I'm still not clear. What was
the misquote? And what was its<BR>> significance<BR>> to the meaning
of the First Amendment?<BR>><BR>> I too have some Scot-Irish, but more
Welsh, on two different sides<BR>> of my<BR>> mother's family, and
some east Tennessee Cherokee, nobody who got as<BR>> far<BR>> west as
Oklahoma. I guess nobody wanted to cross all those flatlands<BR>>
to<BR>> get from the Appalachians to the Ozarks.<BR>><BR>>
