   Which part of the 1st Amendment allows you to trespass on private property   
   (after being explicitly told to leave by the property owner) and disrupt   
   others' 1st Amendment rights to practice their religion?   
      
   Please be specific and back it up with case citations, because this is a new   
   one for me. My focus in law school was 1st Amendment law and copyright law and   
   I don't recall any case, statute, or the Constitution itself that allows   
   private property rights to be overridden merely because some jackass holds up   
   the word "journalist" like a shield.

   So? What does that have to do with anything?

   Trump has never used capitalizing the word 'black' but not 'white' as an   
   excuse for anything.   
      
   You, on the other hand, have not answered the question. Why do you capitalize   
   the word black but not white? Do you think blacks are more special than whites   
   or something? 'Cause if so, that's what we call racism.

   Ah, you've got that same smug Lemon-like condescension while saying stupid and   
   provably wrong shit. Well done!   
      
   (1) That's a legal impossibility. The literal definition of 'misdemeanor' is   
   any crime for which the punishment is less than a year behind bars. A crime   
   for which the punishment is more than a year is a felony. You can't be put in   
   jail or prison for a non-criminal civil infraction, so by definition those   
   can't be a misdemeanors.   
      
   (2) Just to be on the safe side in case something wild had changed in the law,   
   I went to the AI and asked it:   
      
   "Is there any state in the United States where misdemeanors are not crimes?"   
      
   ANSWER: "No, there is no state in the United States where misdemeanors are not   
   considered crimes. In every U.S. state (and under federal law), a misdemeanor   
   is defined as a type of criminal offense."   
      
   So you wanna try that again, slappy?
