'Fire' in a crowded theatre has not been deemed illegal, however, that does not mean there are not consequences to pay for any damages.
religion, tough one. While it says that congress shall make 'no law' establishing religion, it also says 'the free exercise thereof' and thats a biggie. As you said, our nation was based upon a judeo-christian set of principles and I, personally, see nothing wrong witht 10 commandment displays, nativity scenes, etc. It's the free exercise of religious expression.
Petition for redress, I'd like some more people to comment on this as well. My take is that the supremacy clause is over abused to deny people the right to sue the government and this is on all levels, fed, state, and local.
