No, becasue the Constitution is supreme. The Constitution says no Laws against free speech, religion or peacefully assemble, so you can't do it, no state can. BUT if it's NOT in the Constitution (say murder and abortion), then states CAN regulate and pass laws via the 10th AmendmentBut the constitution does say that the states aren't allowed to pass laws about religion. It only says that Congress cannot pass such a law. So the states are free to outlaw Scientology.
The sad part it, you do have a point. The left a psychos, that are for communism and that's it........all the other issues are just fronts to get their communism....sad but true.I wouldn't be so sure. If their leaders told them that thinning out the population is good for the planet, they would probably be ok with it. They are that far gone.

I hear ya, I'm a christian and not a huge fan, but that's a different argument. In this case, assuming it's a religion, then it's protected.Except it's not a religion. It's a for profit cult. Nothing more.

if the constitution doesnt apply to the states then why do the states keep going to SCOTUS to see if their laws abide the constitution,,,Look, repeating yourself doesn't change anything. Go and read it yourself. The first amendment says CONGRESS. It says nothing about the states.
Yes it does....here it isLook, repeating yourself doesn't change anything. Go and read it yourself. The first amendment says CONGRESS. It says nothing about the states.
Yes it does....here it is
Article VI, Paragraph 2 of the U.S. Constitution is commonly referred to as the Supremacy Clause. It establishes that the federal constitution, and federal law generally, take precedence over state laws, and even state constitutions.

Holy shit, it does, The states cannot pass a law that is unconstitutional....that's why these laws go to the supreme court. I mean come on. Name me one law states have that the constitution denies?And the constitution says CONGRESS shall pass no law. That is the supreme law. That CONGRESS cannot outlaw Scientology. It says nothing about the states being so limited.
Let's say 25 states outlaw Scientology. That's fine, right? Anyone who wants to be a Scientologist can just move to another state, right?
There is no deeply held tradition in this country to engage in Scientology, so it's actually fine to outlaw it.

It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.I don't even think you understand what I posted, not sure why.
I didn't say that you said "is". I Said what is, is.
As in right now churches do have exemption status, and
I don't think Scientology should have that exemption
Like I said, I don't want them banned, I just want their tax exempt status revoked...
Church of Scientology of Ventura

Check out the Scientology buildings in Ventura. Located just West of Seaward along the 101 freeway.
They stand empty like many of their properties.
I drive by there everyday and there might be a security guard parked on the lot. Thats it.Holy hell... those weren't there when I left...
They're empty because they don't have the people to fill them. As I understand it, their membership is less than half of what they claim it to be.
So let's see... They are a for profit cult and real estate investment company...

Same sex marriage is still MARRIAGECalifornia voted to outlaw same sex marriage. Liberals threw a fit and sued in court to overturn the will of the people and the vote.
Yes, but what law will the state pass that doesn't contradict the Constitution? The Constitution is supreme, meaning that if you were to restrict gun laws in NY, the Constitution, says nope.......Same with religion, you have free exercise to practice your relgion, no state can mess with that, why? Becasue the Constitution says you can't and it's supreme. So yes the Constitution mentions Congress, but The Constitution also overrides the states, so state Congresses (ie legistations) and even the State Constitutions cannot override the US Constitution. If a state consitutution can't override the US Constitution, then no law passed by the state can override the Constitution.It's true that the states cannot pass an unconstitutional law. But the constitution says CONGRESS is prohibited from passing laws about religion.
Look, the Supreme Court has even said so.
The Constitution was ordained and established by the people of the United States for themselves, for their own government, and not for the government of individual States.
