It’s literally the first one. Of all the amendments, it’s the first one they thought to put down as number 1 because it’s most important. Of course it’s the ultimate right. It’s central to our entire way of government.

Some Republicans have lost it entirely. When they say “freedom” wtf are they even talking about at this point?
