Like the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms, the 1st Amendment is not absolute either.
Silly home-schooled people have crazy ideas about all powerful absolute rights.
The right to commit fraud, using free speech to tell lies for gain,
disappeared in 1203 English Common Law imported into the English
colonies and adopted by the states. There has never been one minute of
free speech to commit fraud in America.
There is no 1st Amendment right to free speech to yell fire in a crowded
theater, just like there is no 2nd Amendment right to bear arms of a Bushmaster AR-15 in a crowded theater either.
These are not absolute rights. They are rights of citizens in good
standing well behaved and curtailed by a balance of multiple rights
existing in every situation.
The RIGHT TO LIFE is the first right mentioned in the constitution above
all other rights in importance. Only living people have any rights at
all, so the right to life is a necessary right to enjoy or use any other
right.
All citizens are compelled to observe the rights of all others and forgo
some portion of their rights for the functioning of society. Your
rights to swing your fists stops at my nose. Your failure of recognition
of my nose rights gets you punished for application of your swinging
rights.
Wordy. If Hart had 250 word limit of the rest of us he would be more direct.
The Constitution puts the RIGHT TO LIFE first ahead of all rights and the one most necessary to have any other rights. One death penalty is placed in the Constitution and it is applied to those committing treason taking up arms against the govt. No reading of any other part of the constitution can be understood as arming the people to commit treason. Conspiritists whom believe in taking up arms against the govt are the actual enemy the constitution was designed to protect us from, and it is evidence of mental instability too severe to even be allowed to possess arms.
Our theory of govt was formed by THOMAS PAINE'S COMMON SENSE in 1775. There were 3 million Americans and 3 million copies reproduced of the pamphlet. Literally every American was on the same page. Govt is needed to protect life from enemies foreign and in our midst.
Govt has a duty to disarm the dangerous. That is it's first and foremost duty. Taking away the guns from bad and crazy people is what we created govt to do. The only way we could even have a civil society is if we pooled resources together into a force we could protect ourselves with against those who would kill us. Forefathers disarmed people on the same day that they wrote the Constitution, how can we be persuaded that we can't do that today?
