But that's such a bother and who has the time? Just find some asshole in a black robe and make something up. The clear, simple meaning of English doesn't necessarily mean what it plainly states in the Constitution....well, unless we want it to and only until we don't want it to.
It's all just part of the "wonder and magic" of being governed by a "living document."

Highly unlikely if you had anything to do with it. Well, it least it looks like her opponent has a solid grasp of the 1st amendment...oh, wait no he doesn't. He's a fascist cocksucker. Must be a friend of yours.
Third Lawsuit Alleges Retaliation by Coons
08/09/2007 3:13 PM ET
WILMINGTON, Del. (AP)- A third lawsuit alleges that New Castle County Executive Chris Coons retaliated against county employees because of their political views.
Dennis Parkstone filed the latest lawsuit last month. He claims he was fired after 35 years for a minor violation because he voiced support for Coon's rival in 2004, Sherry Freebery. However, county spokeswoman Christy Gleason says Parkstone was fired because he sent inappropriate and explicit e-mails on the county's e-mail servers.
A lawsuit filed by county police Corporal Trinidad Navarro is scheduled to go to trial next month. Navarro alleges he was passed over for a promotion because he supported a police chief appointed by the previous county executive.
And two years ago, Freebery's brother alleged in lawsuit that he was improperly fired because he supported his sister. He was the general manager of Special Services for the county.

A) Congress has no power to promote religion from Art 1 sec 8 (or anywhere else in Articles 1-7) therefore it has no power to promote religion, above and beyond that the 1st amendment actually forbids establishing a religion by Congress. What part of her stance was correct again?
B) "[W]hat was actually occurring at the time the words in the document were written." Trying to breathe life into the old girl I see. You are one hypocritical POS.

Straight up, if someone imagines that the founders intended the above standards when the First Amendment was written, they are either blatantly ignorant or they have some agenda they are pursuing. Cuckoo.
Straight up, if someone imagines they have ANY clue as to how the founders would have reacted to 21st century America beyond "HOLY FUCK THERE IS PORN ON THE INTERNET? Wait a minute, WTF is the Internet?," they are either lying or stupid.
Obviously, I don't know this for sure, but I'm thinking that Ben Franklin might have enjoyed a few porn sites.
