Repeal the First Amendment?

Would it be easier to repeal the First than to pass it if it was being proposed today? I'm not sure how firmly Eric's tongue was planted in his cheek, but I think the answer is "yes"--although both movements would likely fail.

As far as the main thrust of Eric's post, I don't think Coulter was joking at all. I personally would give up my right to vote in a heartbeat if I knew I would get more liberty. Not that I agree with (or disagree with) Coulter's assertion that Republicans are preferable to Democrats either in general or in regards to liberty.

Of course, I don't participate in my own rape vote anyway, so giving that up would be like giving up my private jet.
