RE: FL Students Who Begged Gov't to Take Their Rights Away, Now Angry Gov't Took Away Their Rights
"Trampling the 2nd Amendment is just fine to David Hogg, but touch the first, which is upheld by the second, and you are a tyrant."
AMENDMENT I
FREEDOM OF RELIGION. SPEECH, AND THE PRESS;
RIGHTS OF ASSEMBLY AND PETITION
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.
Perhaps you mean the Fourth Amendment?
AMENDMENT IV
SEARCH AND ARREST WARRANTS
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
I can understand poster boy for the tide pod generation not getting this correct. However this being parroted by someone who's craft is explicitly protected by the First Amendment is something I find concerning. I won't get into the questions this makes me wonder...
It's pretty clear these days that few people have ever bothered to read the Original Constitution and it's Amendments. Let alone understand what natural rights are and that those rights are not limited to or granted by words on paper. They serve as a reminder to the limitations of government.
Aside from that obvious oversight, I'd say the article made a good point.
Procter & Gamble needs to print the Constitution on the back of all packages of Tide pods.
Was gonna call that out, but you beat me to it and did a better job than I would have. I was only going to point out that the boy didn't know about the other amendments. He sees no problem with unreasonable search, so long as fashion choice is upheld.
Unfortunately, I have seen this parroted by numerous other "news" outlets. It really is concerning seeing how unaware even the voices with the furthest reach are. It's as if people are moving so rapidly forward that no one has the time to even think anymore.
Awareness seems paramount to freeing ourselves from this sideshow. If we allow ourselves to get swept up in the madness, then the game is already decided.
