It is an accident that our 1st Amendment is the Right to Assembly.
It's total happenstance that that happened to be the one that was ratified first.
The original 1st Amendment was supposed to be something totally different.
The original First Amendment stated a formula for determining the size of the House of Representatives based on the population of the United States in 1789. That amendment could still be revived, but it wouldn’t be practical in the year 2013. The original Second Amendment was about determining when Congress can change its pay. It took a very long time, but the original Second Amendment became the 27th Amendment when it was ratified in 1992.
duke really has notes for this? quite possibly the most irrelevant, nonsensical opening argument I've ever witnessed. @ warning of a wave of partisan impeachments...
