Wisconsin Senator Says Individuals Do NOT Have First Amendment Rights! Is She Nuts Or Is This The Future Of The US? Unfortunately, Probably The Latter!

Sen. Baldwin Wants You to Know You Don’t Have a First Amendment

Sen. Tammy Baldwin, Democrat from Wisconsin and member of the leftist Congressional Progressive
 Caucus, said in an appearance on MSNBC that we don’t have First Amendment rights as individuals,
 only institutions and businesses have those rights.

She said this:

“Certainly the first amendment says that in institutions of faith that there is absolute power to, you
 know, to observe deeply held religious beliefs. But I don’t think it extends far beyond that. We’ve
seen the set of arguments play out in issues such as access to contraception. Should it be the
individual pharmacist whose religious beliefs guides whether a prescription is filled, or in this
context, they’re talking about expanding this far beyond our churches and synagogues to
businesses and individuals across this country. I think there are clear limits that have been
set in other contexts and we ought to abide by those in this new context across America.”

They’re trying to extend the First Amendment to individuals!!! Leftists want a redo on the
 Constitution so they make it fit their ideology.

Thanks for your interpretation of the First Amendment Tammy but I’ll stick with the Founding
 Fathers’ version.

The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of
any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging
 the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to
peaceably assemble or prohibiting …

We are clearly entitled to the free exercise of religion in the United States and it has been
upheld by the Supreme Court.

Thursday at a Family Research Council pastors' retreat, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) discussed Senate Joint Resolution 19, which is a effort aimed at reversing the effects of the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision.

"When you think it can’t get any worse, it does,” Cruz said. “This year, I’m sorry to tell you, the United States Senate is going to be voting on a constitutional amendment to repeal the First Amendment.”

“I am telling you -- I am not making this up. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has announced the Senate Democrats are scheduling a vote on a constitutional amendment to give Congress the authority to regulate political speech because elected officials have decided they don’t like it when the citizenry has the temerity to criticize what they’ve done,” he added.

“I’ll note this amendment, which has 41 Democratic senators as co-sponsors – 41 Democrats have signed on to repealing the First Amendment, It explicitly says nothing in this new amendment shall abridge the freedom of the press,” Cruz said.

“So The New York Times is protected, but it doesn’t say the same thing about the freedom of speech," he continued. "It doesn’t say the same thing about religious liberty, what is says it that politicians in Washington have unlimited constitutional authority to muzzle each and every one of you if you’re saying things the government finds inconvenient.”
