Does the Constitution explicitly say that freedom of speech extends to speech broadcast by the mass media? Or is that inclusion a reasonable extrapolation? How about freedom of religion: does that mean that I can cook up a religion to avoid paying income taxes, or can the state promulgate tests of the legitimacy of a religion? Does the Constitution give us a clue on how to define religion? Is there any merit to the idea that "secular humanism" is a religion, and that we are in danger of establishing it? What do we mean by "establishment" anyway? If we are not making a church official and state supported, can we be violating the Constitution? All of these things require thinking beyond the bare text.........
