“Disorderly conduct is now a Constitutional right. Apparently.”

Well, if the government gets to define “disorderly” then it can define ANY speech against the government as disorderly or causing disorder. So much for the first.

No it can not. Conduct is conduct. Speech is speech, and protected by the constitution.

That is why I cannot shoot people and call it “political speech”.
