Maybe not FR but abortion protestors, most of whom I would say are conservative, did file suit when they saw that restrictions about where they could protest would lessen their effectiveness. Seems to me they eventually won, too. And some abortion protestors have certainly shown they can get violent, although the vast majority don't.

I will respond even though you are veering off the subject of protesting the Commander-in-Chief and the protection of the Secret Service.

The problem with the FACE act was that it applied only to abortion protestors, and not to any other form of protest.

We have already established that the Secret Service has done the same thing to Clinton protestors when he was President, so there is no unequal or one-sided application here.

You are kidding, aren't you?

I don't care which president did it, if you allow your supporters near enough to see and to talk to but you keep those who oppose you blocks away, that is unequal and one-sided. Period.

From this comment I assume you must approve of what Clinton did. If not, how can you approve of Bush doing the exact same thing?
