The right to peaceably assemble is associated with petitioning the government for redress of grievances. It doesn’t stand on it’s own.

Actually, it better be able to stand on its own, otherwise you've just given the government blanket permission to prevent peaceable assembly for any other reason than the express purpose of petitioning the government for a redress of grievances.

Not a blanket permission, the government actor who imposes restrictions has to justify them. See parade permits, etc.

But there can be NO law, NONE, that stands between the people peaceably assembling (by the millions, if that's what it takes), for the purpose of petitioning the government for redress.

I’m not offically a Constitutional expert like Obama is. In my opinion, the right to peaceably assemble is separated from redress of grievances. But can be used in conjunction with each other or in an argumentative debate.
