...oddly, if the homeowners had been using their home for a mosque, it woulda been ok. If the city had objected, the feds woulda sued em. Remember, this is the country that allows a ground zero mosque but won't allow a cross to be placed there.

LMAO - Talk about f'ing IGNORANT PUBLIC OFFICIALS -

Instead, she said the city fined the Fromms for transforming a residential area into a place where people regularly assemble.

Hey, DingleBerry **she**(and if you don't know what a dingle-berry is - just ask ... )

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.


[Notis Bene:] Under the incorporation doctrine, most provisions of the Bill of Rights now also apply to the state and local governments, by virtue of the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution.

Prior to the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment and the development of the incorporation doctrine, the Supreme Court in 1833 held in Barron v. Baltimore that the Bill of Rights applied only to the federal, but not any state governments. Even years after the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment the Supreme Court in United States v. Cruikshank, still held that the First and Second Amendment did not apply to state governments. However, beginning in the 1890s, a series of United States Supreme Court decisions interpreted the Fourteenth Amendment to "incorporate" most portions of the Bill of Rights, making these portions, for the first time, enforceable against the state governments.

**she** == An un-named spokeswoman for the city of San Juan Capistrano .... Typical media and government official cowardice in full frontal presentation mode.
