re: #89 Gus 802 For a purist explanation, just read it. Where it says “Congress shall make NO laws……” it and the Madison/Jefferson group meant that. No laws abridging the freedom of the press, assembly, religion, speech.
No laws at all.
That is indeed what the Bill of Rights says and it shouldn’t be “interpreted” by SCOTUS or anyone else to say “except for laws relating to……”.
