[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is clearly unconstitutional.[/quote]
Not allowing it was unconstitutional? Or allowing it now?[/quote]

To be constitutional, wouldn't [i]any[/i] kind of noise have to be allowed at those times? Time, place, and manner regulations are constitutional as long as they are content-neutral.[/quote]
I'm not a constitutional scholar, but if you want to argue against religious freedom or practice, then by all means move to Minneapolis and sue. If you make it to this Supreme Court, there's a good chance the literalist Trump appointees will side with you, because Islam isn't expressly written into the Constitution or something.[/quote]

PP here. I have no strong opinion on what Minneapolis is doing. If anything, I'd lean toward supporting it, although I'm also aware of the sleep studies a PP noted. (60 Minutes did a really good piece on it several years ago. Vox also has some good articles.)  I was just curious about the con law and hoping someone with expertise would jump in.

I totally share your distrust of the current SC.
