That's apparently what this court thinks when it
upheld the arrest of some people for ignoring an order by the cops to
stop carrying a sign on federal property, in front of a court
building. They recently made an UNCONSTITUTIONAL law banning handing
out leaflets or carrying signs in front of a federal building, and
that's what the cops were enforcing. In support of their appeal, his
lawyers said, ““If
citizens cannot stand out in the open and voice their disapproval of
their government, its representatives and its policies without
fearing prosecution, then the First Amendment is little more than
window-dressing on a store window – pretty to look at but serving
little real purpose,” The funny thing is that this “contretemps”
happened in front of the Supreme Court building, where freedom of
speech should be revered, but apparently, isn't. (World Net Daily)
