“And we will defend all our rights, civil rights, human rights and
voting rights, women’s rights and worker’s rights, LGBT rights and the
rights of people with disabilities.” That is from Hillary Clinton’s
Democratic Convention speech. There are two rights that she would not
defend which are defined by the first two amendments of our
Constitution. That is because she wants to either alter them or gut
them. And she calls Donald Trump reckless.
I always remind people that the First Amendment to our Constitution is first for a reason. Without protecting that we might as well junk everything else. The amendment states: “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.” Yet Clinton has stated that she will propose an amendment to the Constitution to abridge that right within 30 days of her becoming president of the United States.
That is because her party has been whipped into a frenzy over a ruling made by the U.S. Supreme Court on Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission. The ruling has become a rallying cry for Democrats. As you know it gave the right for a non-profit corporation to exercise its rights of free speech by spending money on campaigns. Though the Left feels this is a scorch to humanity, the roots of the ruling center on Hillary Clinton herself. The group Citizens United was being suppressed from running ads and airing a film critical of Hillary Clinton. The proposal was that this form of assembly of citizens was not a proper form, thus they could not run the ad. The Supreme Court ruled Citizens United had the right of free speech. And thus all entities that have banded together have the right of free speech.
