A female activist (along with a college, who is filming) approaches a female United States Senator teaching a class at a public university in Arizona and follows her into the ladies’ restroom to lecture the Senator about federal legislation the Senator will be voting on. Is this an issue of “free speech” on public policy protected under the 1st Amendment or is this a case of improper harassment and filming, contravening Arizona criminal statutes?
In an article entitled The Puzzling Oversight Hearings Regarding the Withdrawal From Afghanistan, I posited that, “By design, 1,000 puzzle pieces of our national puzzle are now being thrown out to the public in the form of one disaster after another in order to encourage citizens to throw up their hands and give up on determining causality and accountability.”
The ladies’ restroom incident is one of those 1,000 pieces being thrown out there. It is worth examining closely.
For such a prized political right, the 1st Amendment’s “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech” is difficult for many Americans to understand. Commentators struggle too.
The Supreme Court has endless rulings about this phrase in the Constitution and jealously guards the right to free political speech. If speech on public policy is curtailed, the reason for its restriction must be compelling. Does this protection extend to public policy speech in the ladies’ restroom at Arizona State University?

True, and too bad. It’s not only Internet publications, either.
Anyone who thinks it is a right to follow someone into a restroom and record them as they excreting in a toilet should also understand that said person might kick their ass. If this occurred in the 1940’s, the creep would have been slugged and no one would have thought anything of it.
It’s clear harassment and stalking. To argue it’s ok to follow you into a restroom and record video is absurd.
The left has no morals. The end justifies the means by any means necessary, so their ‘morals’ change by the moment to suit them.
“Free speech or harassment in a ladies’ restroom?”
Since an AZ law clearly says it’s a felony, why even write an article that asks that question?
