So it's a moment when –

The things that the civil civil rights movements were taking advantage of flip around to be codified by the actions of a of a KKK.

Be careful what you ask for.

Right.

I mean, it was amended immediately.

Yeah, exactly.

It was amended by the first Congress.

And I think, you know, if we think about the story of the First Amendment, what is the long story of the First Amendment?

You know, it's a story of those rights, the rights of the practice of religion and especially freedom of speech, but also freedom of the press.

All of these rights have gone through a process over the last 250 years or 225 years of steadily being expanded.

Right.

And the limitations that the government can put on them has been sort of steadily and consistently narrowed.

And so we as a society over the past 200 plus years have decided that this is the direction that we want to move in, that we want to move towards greater rights and fewer restrictions.

And that's really the story that I think we would find with the history of most of these amendments.
