Congress just passed a law making it a felony to protest anywhere the secret service is present. This means anywhere the president is present, anywhere the vice president is present, anywhere a former president is present, anywhere a leading presidential candidate is present, and anywhere anyone who the president assigns secret service protection to is present. As a felony, this law is punishable by more than a year in prison. So the President can basically shut down protests anywhere a politician is speaking by assigning secret service to the politician. So next time Biden, Reid, or Pelosi visits a locale to tout the virtues of Obamacare, the President can simply assign secret service to the individual and protests at that locale will be punishable by more than a year in prison. This is outrageous!
For over 220 years, Americans have been able to exercise their freedoms of speech, association, and assembly in protesting the actions of the government. It's a uniquely American right that is significantly curbed by this new law.
The most disappointing aspect of this whole conspiracy (yes, it's a conspiracy, involving hundreds of members of Congress and the President to curb our constitutional rights!) is that it received widespread bipartisan support.
But nary a peep from the media. I would have thought the media, whose job it is to give the first amendment a workout, would at least be mentioning this blatant violation of the Constitution.
