You are not allowed to prohibit people from expressing their opinion in a non-violent way on public property because you disagree with it, or because it threatens your business, etc.

Blocking access to or from public property is not nonviolent expression of opinion.

Again, as I understand NOW's position, you didn't have to "block access". All you had to do was "impede" or "delay" one of their clients. Saying, "Miss, may I talk to you" constitutes "delaying" someone.
