Protesters Banned At Jeff Sessions Lecture On Free Speech
Law News ^

Posted on 09/26/2017 4:22:26 PM PDT by JP1201

Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III visited the Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. today in order to give a lecture on Freedom of Speech.

The attorney general–or perhaps the law school administration–has a somewhat picayune concept of that notion, however, as over 100 student protesters were barred from attending the event. Those students had initially signed up for the event, and then received invites, only to later have those invitations revoked.

Why should protesters be allowed to attend a speech?

They can protest outside all they want.

“The attorney general–or perhaps the law school administration–has a somewhat picayune concept of that notion, however, as over 100 student protesters were barred from attending the event.”

Funny, I had the opposite impression. But what do I know without a degree in (ptui-ptui) law?

Sorry, but methinks the earth would fare far better with no lawyers and much more real degrees, than one with all lawyers and no one with creative talent. Oh, forgot, there IS Washington D.C./

Quit wasting our time Jeffy, you aren’t getting any younger. We voted for action, not more speeches.

“Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III visited the Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. today in order to give a lecture on Freedom of Speech.”.....

So he bans those protestors “free speech”?

Sounda familiar, isn’t that the same as what the NFL and the paid losers are doing on “company time”? We pay to watch TV or sports events, NOT PROTESTS. Do it on their own time, not my dime.

Sessions needs to be lecturing less and indicting more— especially hillary and her gang of bribe takers. I don’t understand the delay.

That’s right, because they wouldn’t allow him to speak.

So the protestors do not want to give Jeff Sessions the right to free speech?

They can have all the free speech they want
Just not at the same time and place of someone elses’ speech
Find their own venue

The only reason they wanted in was to disrupt to the extent that the kitten would not be able to give HS speech.

Good decision brought on by the protesters consistently preventing the speaker from speaking.

Glad he got those college sportswear smugglers. That’s way more important than the deep state trying to overthrow our government...smh

They don't want to protest.

They want to shut down.

Time someone drew the line over where and when you can exercise your freedoms

Go make your free speech somewhere else and stop calling
it your “right “to crash someones elses speech

“CONGRESS shall make no law....”

The First Amendment in no way restricts the right of private property owners to limit speech or assembly on their property.

They banned the protestors “of” Free Speech.

They can speak all they want, but they have no right to disrupt his discussion of “free speech”.

The would have simply made asses of themselves inside the event, and ruined it for everyone.

Just let them come in and set the goons loose on them to bash their heads in.

Works for Auntie Fa!
