Comment on “in relation to matters held sacred by any religion..”

Any religion that feels the need for legislation to protect it from being “insulted” isn’t worth defending, or even paying any attention to.

“Democrat Party leaders”? Is there some particular reason you changed that from the article, which correctly used “Democratic Party leaders”?
