Again this isn't a legal issue, so your "legal" argument is beside the point to this thread and what it's about.
I never said legalities or the constitution does not matter, I said it was irrelevant to THIS thread.
So what is the point of this thread?
You quoted President Obama saying that "Mulims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else" and "that includes the right to build a place of worship and community center on private property in lower Manhattan" and "our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable".
He was directly addressing legalities and religious freedoms protected under the constitution but you say that legalities and the constitution are "irrelevant" to this thread?
He didn't say he thought it was a good idea or that he personally endorsed the choice. He simply said it was a legally protected right.
