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.
This does provide free exersise of religion and protests. However, it does not address vulgarity or obsenitys.
I personally think this is a states issue, but even states rights in this arena have been trampled recently, as in the texas sodomy case refered to in the article.
-"Its absolutely wrong for the judges to rule against the will of the people "-
No, it is the courts job to uphold the laws implemented by the people represenatives. The United states is not a democracy, or mob rule. It is a constitutional republic, and the constitution is the highest law in the land, not what the people want at the moment.
