According to Operation Rescue, in February, 1998, both were charged with violating the "focused picketing" ordinance even though neither had signs and both incidents lasted only a minute each.
They violated a focused picketing ordinance, but they did not carry signs, they simply spoke to the abortionist, which I consider okay under the First Amendment...
There is no mention of a restraining order -- at least by Operation Rescue...
Maybe this should earn National Attention -- as the March for Life is a few weeks away...
I’m no professor of Constitutional law but doesn’t an ordinance which creates a prior restraint on speech violate the First Amendment?
what other spaces/towns etc only allow “focused picketing”’?
So much for making laws “content neutral” on a public sidewalk no less!
Why can’t Brittany et al just go to court and get “focused picketing” and harrassment laws passed against those creeps with cameras that won’t leave them ?
