This is a camel’s nose under the tent situation.

I understand, but liberals use the same logic for trying to ban guns....

I think this case is worthy of a serious discussion of constituitional rights, regardless of the political affliation of those arrested. To me it’s a great question: when does the public’s right to quiet and tranquility at a national monument trump the rights of those who want to dance or talk or otherwise not engage in typical forms of disruptive behavior?

The rules seem quite reasonable to me. Plus there are a great many other places in DC that are completely open to protest, demonstrate, celebrate etc.

I’m assuming its also against the law to climb around on the statues of DC. I could see these clowns doing that and crying that their rights were being violated.
