How did this get through the House? Did they really think it was a good idea?
HR 347 was passed last year?
Thanks for posting - Should probably be under Breaking News though.
Read what snopes.com has to say about this bill that was passed in 2012.

Supreme Court to review whether agents violated rights of Bush protesters
'The Supreme Court will consider whether two Secret Service agents can be sued for allegedly hustling protesters out of earshot of a dining President George W. Bush while accommodating his supporters.
The incident took place in Jacksonville, Ore., where Bush made an impromptu decision to dine on Oct. 14, 2004. Two groups had assembled nearby: 200 to 300 people unhappy with the president joined together on the street and sidewalks immediately adjacent to the inn, while a group of Bush supporters gathered a block away.
But after the president decided to stay for a meal on the Jacksonville Inns patio, the protesters were moved to a location farther away, while the supporters stayed where they were. When the motorcade left, he drove past the supporters, but the protesters were not on the route.
Seven of them sued Secret Service agents Tim Wood and Rob Savage, saying the unequal treatment violated their free speech rights. Federal officials are generally exempt from being sued in their official capacities, unless they know the actions violate basic rights.'
Even the lefties are upset about this:
