On Absoluteness of Constitutional Amendments

January 19, 2013

Dear Editor

Regardless of the result of your poll, it is established law that constitutional amendments are not absolute.

There is the well-known exception to freedom of speech that you may not yell "Fire" in a crowded theater.

Likewise, no one is allowed to commit ritual human sacrifice no matter what their religious beliefs. This is also irrelevant to the issue of the Journal News's gun permit map.

That is publicly available information by state law, and remains publicly available whether their map is up or not. I am not a member of the press and yet I can post the same information with impunity.

(Editor's Note: Reading of the section of the New York State SAFE Act, page 30, sets new standards for anonymity of gun permit holders.)

You can use the the survey at the right to give Tony Stimac and Jeff Rosenstock some feedback on how they did. Vote once each day on a different category of question.

Remember it's your theatre. Take an interest tell the theatre what direction you'd like it to take.
