CONSTITUTION: ALITO trashes First Amendment...

I have written in the past about a group or religious nuts from Kansas called the Westboro Baptist Church who are rabidly anti-gay and show this by protesting at funerals of American soldiers killed in action. I explained before that in their twisted religious logic, God is punishing America for allowing homosexuality in America, by killing our soldiers. Anyway, read my previous blog for more details.

Anyway, the whole matter has gone to the Supreme Court to answer the question whether the religious idiots can lawfully protest at these funerals while obeying police orders to keep 1,000 feet away from the actual funeral procession and burial ceremony.

I said then that the ruling has to be that they have First Amendment rights to say whatever they wish to say. I was adamant about that and saw no other way out and the court did vote as predicted EXCEPT for SAMUAL ALITO, the conservative Catholic (most are Catholic).

Alito said that if PUBLICLY OFFENSIVE SPEECH IS ALSO PERSONALLY PAINFUL, THE CONSTITUTION DOESN’T PROTECT IT; that I consider the opinion of an emotional juvenile and not a Supreme Court justice.

If you say that the Constitution prohibits speech that you don’t like where is the freedom of speech? It means that any justice can pick and choose the words they feel are constitutional and the words that are allowed (by you) and who in the hell are you to decide which speech is OK and which is not.

The First Amendment protects all speech and our Founding fathers wrote it for a reason and you have the balls to defy, after all these years, the wisdom of our Founding Fathers and of all the previous Supreme Court justices?

You make a mockery of what the Supreme Court stands for as the last protector of our rights under the Constitution.

This decision by Alito brands him a dangerous man, willing to shred the First Amendment to satisfy his own personal emotional opinion…HE IS NOT A PROTECTOR OF THE CONSTITUTION AND OUR RIGHTS UNDER IT.
