Their hands are bound when it comes to sledding laws. Must not break such a sacred law. But when it comes to immigration laws and the Constitution - not so much

After a high-stakes game of chicken (which, incidentally, is also known as — ahem — “snowdrift”), D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton confirmed that U.S. Capitol Police are not enforcing the ban on sledding on Capitol Hill Thursday.
The announcement came after protesters held a “sled-in” on Capitol Hill on Thursday afternoon, despite a warning from Capitol Police that sledding is forbidden there.
“No enforcement of #sledding ban on Capitol Hill today. Thank you Capitol Police!” Holmes Norton posted on Twitter.
A few dozen children and parents gathered on Capitol Hill, taking advantage of several inches of snow that blanketed the D.C. area Thursday.
Details about about the impromptu event showed up earlier Thursday on a Change.org petition, local blog POPville.com reported. “If you are up for a little civil disobedience, meet at the west front of the Capitol lawn” at 1 p.m., the Change.org page said in advance of the event. “Come armed with sleds!”

Well, sledding is the only worth while and adult activity to have occurred in the Capital in years.

I stand corrected. Of course we had to import an alien to do the work American politicians refuse to do.

Sledding in a restricted area is a gateway crime.
The next thing you know these thugs will be throwing their arugula into the trash bin, nibbling Pop Tarts into gun shapes, and walking home without supervision.

Harry Reid doesn’t want the riff-raff on his lawn. They smell.

“Unfortunately, the board cannot grant exceptions to the Traffic Regulations for the United States Capitol Grounds or 2 USC § 1963,” Larkin said.
That’s right. Passing, rescinding and amending laws, statutes and regulations is now the function of the executive branch. Go ask the King if you can sled in his forest.

It’s the only place in DC where sliding downhill isn’t SOP.

Harry Reid doesnt want the riff-raff on his lawn. They smell. Can the riff-raff cut their own noses off? That way they won't be able to smell him.

It’s not the DC police; it’s the Capitol police. In addition to the Metropolitan police, there’s the Capitol police and Park police.
