Witnessing my first naturalization ceremony made me realize what a mockery

the religious right and others have made of every principle and ideal the Federal Judge so eloquently expressed as the joys and privileges and duties (including dissent) of American citizenship. I know it's just probably me and there is probably little leeway in what the presiding Judge must say, but his honor seemed to stress to our new citizens those freedoms and liberties, as expressed in the Bill of Right, that have most been under attack by so many of the religious right and in positions of power in the three major branches of government.
