Limiting protesters to a "free speech zone" means First Amendment rights will be under assault at the Democratic National Convention, civil rights lawyer David Lane said during a training class for lawyers today.

Rove, you magnificent bastard. Is that where you've been hiding?


Charles Nadler, a lawyer, reacts to what speakers David Lane and Sean Dingle had to say at DU about possible confrontations between DNC protesters and police.

Happy, trolling lawyers. No real news there...

Freepers are quite familiar with free speech zones. In front of the Capitol behind the green fence during the impeachment comes to mind.

I think it’s time that the RNC plan for the 2012 Convention to be unconventional - virtual in fact. There is no need for the usual hoopla and crapola associated with political conventions. Making it a virtual matter would completely negate any attempt by protesters to obstruct the proceedings. I think younger viewers/voters have no interest in all the platform committee process and the “Idaho, the state that proudly raises more potatoes than...” crap that has become tradition. Let’s break away from the pattern and present perhaps 3-3 1/2 hours of the best of the party.

Wouldn’t “volunteer” mean they’re working for free? Hah, I kinda doubt that. Gotta be paybacks of some kind.

“”If police are ill-trained and ill-led, ‘68 may very well be recreated in Denver,” Lane said referring to riots during the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago.”

....these clowns are nostalgic for the old “days of rage” back in ‘68....it ain’t gonna happen...there’s no draft now....and that’s really what the anti-war movement was all about back then...draft dodging.
