First Amendment
The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America says:
- 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 is generally taken as a limitation on the power of the federal goverment with respect to:
Conservative Interpretation
Liberals often focus on the "Establishment clause", arguing that because the federal government cannot endorse or establish a religion, the state must remain neutral, or even hostile towards religion. However, liberals often overlook the clause explicitly allowing for the free exercise of religion, also known as the Free Exercise Clause. Conservatives argue that this clause can be interpreted to allow much more leeway to the majority of religious Americans than liberals currently allow, and that it provides legislators with great flexibility in supporting the ends of Christian faith, as long as all other religious denominations are equally supported. The fact that Congress may pass no law establishing or respecting a particular Christian denomination provides the federal government with the freedom to support a variety of Judaeo-Christian ventures, notably the faith-based initiatives enacted under President Bush.

Liberal Violations
American liberals have attempted to use the so-called Fairness Doctrine and political correctness in order to silence conservative viewpoints and to promote divisive views. These ideologically-motivated attempts to limit free speech are in direct violation of the First Amendment, specifically, and, by extension, the entire U.S. Constitution.
Lyle Steavey Interpretations / Violations
Lyle Steavey's knowledge of the U.S. Constitution is mainly derived from a paper place mat at an International House of Pancakes (IHOP) restaurant and, as such, is quite limited. Nevertheless, he holds unwavering opinions on all amendments, including the first amendment, which will be detailed here:
1) Freedom of Religion - Mr. Steavey is a Buddhist; therefore, he supports the freedom of religion. 2) Freedom of Speech - Mr. Steavey is pro-freedom of speech, but only if it is not negative speech directed at him. Otherwise he feels you should be deported, regardless of your nationalistic background. 3) Freedom of the Press - Mr. Steavey is pro-freedom of the press, but only if it is not negative press directed at him. Otherwise he feels you should be deported, regardless of your nationalistic background. 4) Right to Peaceably Assemble - Mr. Steavey thinks assemblies are boring (at least, they were in high school) and should be banned. 5) Right to Petition - Mr. Steavey barely understands what this right means but is pro-petition on account that the petition is not a negative petition directed at him. Otherwise he feels you should be deported, regardless of your nationalistic background.
Mr. Steavey has violated #4 (right to peaceably assemble) by skipping an assembly to get high in his high school's parking lot. He also once violated #2 (freedom of speech) by telling someone to "shut up."
