Letter to the editor: Constitution provides for peaceable assembly
Chris Cuomo, talking head at CNN, recently said, ” Show me where it is written that protests have to be peaceful.” I can understand his ignorance of the subject, since his party seems to detest the governing law of our land, the U.S. Constitution.
He might look up the First Amendment to the Constitution, which states: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
