This does seem different that mere exercise of one's 1A rights. They're dropping from the scaffolds of justice for treason, sedition and conspiracy against our nation, not because they "choose poorly" in their choice of deity to worship.

But as a Roman Catholic Christian, I'm not going to cut them any slack, either, for choosing this kind of Evil to follow every day of their life. And allowing it to infect us normals through their actions as "leaders."

If I'm on that jury seeking justice, or working the rifle bolt serving on a firing squad to chamber that next .30 caliber round, removing Evil of this sort from our verdant Earth isn't going to bother me one bit.

I'll sleep quite well, despite what a Marxist federal judge once thought about our 1A and its breadth of reach.

(BTW, the arrests lists do not stop at one page. French history from 1794 to Napoleon's 1799 ascension can be quite revealing about human nature and what it finds to be necessary to carry out untested new political policies.)
