A clickable picture for you:

The American Civil Liberties Union is siding with the borough. "Freedom of speech has time, place and manner restrictions," Larry Frankel, executive director of Pennsylvania chapter of the ACLU, told the paper. "Unless he can demonstrate that he is being denied permission for the sign based on the content of the sign, it is not discrimination."

The trick to the ACLU's position is "abortion". They want those crazy "floating privacy zones" around abortion mills - that's a time and place restriction they've argued to be valid.

Their only exception to this general rule of always protecting any standard that benefits abortion occured in Indianapolis where they barged their way into the World War Memorial to hold meetings where they plot and plan the destruction of Western Civilization and the death of the innocent.

Boy doesn't that line just frost your shorts.......

When I came to Chicago for the first time in OHare I saw this sign. It was out front of the ticket counters off to the far side in one of the terminals :

"This has been determined by the City of Chicago to be an appropriate place to pracitce first amendment rights" Or words to that effect.

Can some PLEASE explain to me why it is that enumerated rights, ie. those specifically mentioned, can be restricted to when where and how they are practiced but un-enumerated rights ( those discovered later by judges holding the constitution up to the light and declaring that they found this new right in there honest ) are never restrictable ?

I must stop ranting......
