An Unconditional Right To Say What One

The First Amendment Has Erected A Wall Between Church And State. That Wall Must Be Kept High And Impregnable. We Could Not Approve The Slightest Breach.

We Repeat And Again Reaffirm That Neither A State Nor The Federal Government Can Constitutionally Force A Person "to Profess A Belief Or Disbelief In Any Religion." Neither Can Constitutionally Pass Laws Or Impose Requirements Which Aid All Religions As Against Nonbelievers, And Neither Can Aid Those Religions Based On A Belief In The Existence Of God As Against Those Religions Founded On Different Beliefs.

The First Amendment Provides The Only Kind Of Security System That Can Preserve A Free Government - One That Leaves The Way Wide Open For People To Favor, Discuss, Advocate, Or Incite Causes And Doctrines However Obnoxious And Antagonistic Such Views May Be To The Rest Of Us.

[i]t Is True That [the Provisions Of The Bill Of Rights] Were Designed To Meet Ancient Evils. But They Are The Same Kind Of Human Evils That Have Emerged From Century To Century Whenever Excessive Power Is Sought By The Few At The Expense Of The Many.

The Layman's Constitutional View Is That What He Likes Is Constitutional And That Which He Doesn't Like Is Unconstitutional.
