“Conservatives in positions of power should not act like progressives. She has a protected right to express her opinions.”

There was an old Soviet Union joke. I think Reagan told it once:
Q: American: "Is it true that there is freedom of speech in the Soviet Union, just like in the USA?"A: Soviet: "In principle, yes. In the USA, you can stand in front of the White House in Washington, DC, and yell, "Down with Reagan!", and you will not be punished. Equally, you can also stand in Red Square in Moscow and yell, "Down with Reagan!", and you will not be punished."
I think this sticker crosses the line; the top part is distasteful, but protected. The bottom part is directed generally, and I sincerely doubt would be found to be protected.
The ACLU seems eager to take on the case however if someone brings charges. Since I think they'll lose, bring it.
