Federal Judge: No Free Association
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.
Has anyone seen that quote above? Does it look familiar to anyone? For those educated in the government school system in the past 10 years, you might not recognize it. It's the first amendment to the US Constitution, which is supposed to be the supreme law of the land. However, it's not. Those amendments were designed to ensure that government did not take personal rights away from individuals. They did not grant those rights, they were to protect those rights. But a federal judge in Florida disagrees. The case was a first trial based on a new law that is a clear violation of that amendment listed above. That law made voluntary association with people that results in injury a felony. Not a misdemeanor, but a felony -- a serious crime that stays with you your entire life. In the particular case, one person got injured. I'm sorry that Marcus Jones was injured, seriously. However, Mr. Jones voluntarily submitted to the injury. Mr. Jones voluntarily went to two other people, freely associating with them, and asked them to spank him. They did so. At no time did Mr. Jones complain, stop, or walk away. At no time did the other two persons do anything at all to illegally restrain or stop Mr. Jones from walking away. Mr. Jones FREELY and voluntarily submitted to the spanking. But Judge Kathleen Dekker said that this simply cannot be allowed. She said that people should not be free to associate with one another in this manner. She said that the two people who did what Mr. Jones asked should be thrown in jail with murderers and rapists who violate the liberty of others. Judge Kathleen says that you do NOT have the right to associate with those that you like. Many people in San Francisco should take heed of this ruling -- it says you are NOT free to associate with those you want to unless Judge Dekker says that it's okay. Freedom takes another hit in America. I'm not sure why we even have a Constitution any more.
