>>No, but rights are an individual thing. If you feel the need to move, that is your remedy. Do you really think the athiest in the 9th. Circuit is fighting for a bigger cause??? He is like most liberals - he sees something he does not like and wants to subject the majority to his will, thereby screwing over the rights of others. All the while, he has a remedy, he just chooses not to use it.

Tamar;

Then we have a long history of sedition laws in our nation, which historically have put people in jail for expressing his/her constitutional rights. When you use the term "excesses of the government", remember the "government" has three branches. Each of the three branches has practiced what it thought to be what is best for all. All may be one individual with a great deal of power.

Even the rational of the court is sometimes suspect in its decision making until you research the make up of its members. The court is not “pure in thought”. It is made up of humans and anything is possible. :)

You can add what happened to people of Japanese ancestry during WWII in the United States. Surely the court was protecting everyone!
