This Day in Nuremberg
Reading of the Judgment of The Tribunal by Judges de Vabres and Falco
The First Amendment grew out of an experience which taught that society cannot trust the conscience of a majority to keep its religious zeal within the limits that a free society can tolerate. I do not think it any more intended to leave the conscience of a minority to fix its limits. Civil government cannot let a group ride rough-shod over others simply because their "consciences" tell them to do so.
Douglas v. Jeannette, 319 U.S. 157 (1943) at 179
