besides the rest of this thread which somewhat explains more about where I was headed, I will say that YES!!!! where it says that 'congress shall make no law' means EXACTLY THAT......congress shall make no law. Where it says 'shall not be infringed' means 'shall not be infringed'. 'no soldier shall' means that 'no soldier shall'. 'shall not be violated' and 'no warrants shall issue' means exactly that but upon probable cause and the other very specific exceptions.

the 'no right is absolute' is a bullshit ideologically driven theory supported by people that believe people can't be trusted with freedom, therefore they wish to have the ability to use 'reasonable regulation' of that freedom to make them feel safer. but we can't have slippery slopes, they don't exist except in our fantastical notions of nightmares.
