Fisher Aimes
DELETE this nonsense. If such a person truly existed (and really wrote the First Amendment to the United States Constitution), he'd ring up more than 35 google hits. In fact, the entire Bill of Rights was actually drafted by James Madison, who used George Mason's Virginia Declaration of Rights as a model - and the language went through several drafts in committee in Congress before a final version was settled on. Also, the terminology and phraseology of the quotes attributed to this person are highly unlikely for someone speaking in the 18th Century. This is either a hoax or a joke.

 * Wait - I spoke a little too soon - the article is actually attempting to describe Fisher Ames, a member of the first few Congresses. However, this fellow still did not draft the First Amendment (rather, he played a purely political role in supporting the passage of the Bill of Rights). Modification of vote to delete current junk content and redirect to Fisher Ames. BD2412  T 20:25, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
