The First Amendment

 
Over the last week or so there have been many articles that address the proposal by more than 40 Democrat Senators to rewrite the First Amendment to the US Constitution:

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.

These include Editorials and OP-Ed pieces:

NRO Editors: Free Speech, Thank You very much

NRO Editors: Free Speech without Objection

George Will: Amend the Bill of Rights?

David Harsanyi: Who's a Threat to the Country?

My Senator, listed in George Will's column, seems to have no respect either for "the freedom of speech" or for "the free exercise thereof" (religion), as attested to by his association with the proposal to amend the Bill of Rights, but also his support for the HHS mandate involving Sterilization, Abortifacient drugs and contraceptives as it relates to Catholics, whose religion clearly teaches that such things are immoral.

I wonder how he thinks he's supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic?
