The issue is not if they have a legal, constitutional right at all.
The People DO have a right to express their disapproval. That may or may not effect the outcome.
It amazes me that some not only oppose those who are not in support of this building plan, but actually SUPPORT and are proponents for the Mosque to be built. Makes me scratch my head. It's like those who see issues with the Church, and their critique sounds more like a "everything not associated with the church is awesome -- while anything to do with church folks is horrendous." I've heard this in several books I've read recently. Fortunately, I was able to strip it down and hear their critique over their anti-church rhetoric. This doesn't apply to you, but just a general commentary. Self-righteousness isn't just an issue for ultra cons -- it affects all those who boast their social justice efforts, those who think they know it all and have all the answers to all things while looking low on those who aren't as arrived as them, etc...
Yes, I just took a HUGE tangent... ah well.
