Ah, there was a LOT of debate about what the First Amendment should cover and at one point the FF talked about explicitly calling out Jews as not being subject to special rules and regulations. In the end they decided to just have blanked separation.

Same went for speech - it's broad on purpose. Of course we've swerved some, especially around the civil war and WWI, but on the whole the courts have been able to keep the gov't out of speech.

Don't even get me started on so-called Hate Speech. My soapbox can only stand so much in one day.
