"SHALL MAKE NO LAW..." SEEMS PRETTY CLEAR TO ME (FROM APRIL 17, 2006)

Hey, citizens!The 2006 THOMAS JEFFERSON, "MUZZLE AWARDS" HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED!

The Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression yearly awards the dubious "Muzzle"s to persons or groups who WOULD ABRIDGE THE RIGHT OF FREE EXPRESSION for any number of reasons-- from the evil to the benign to the well-intentioned (if misguided.)

"YOU KNOW WHO," (shhh.. he could be listening) topped the list for his charmingly retro, Nixonesque warrentless wiretaps.

The rest of these swine comprise a diverse rogue's gallery that serve to remind that there are folks all over the political spectrum that think they know what's best for us.

Too lazy for all that shit? Here's the amendment that all the kids are talking about:

"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."

Pretty neat, Huh?
