Another example that the Founding Fathers would be pleased with, not.
Their dream of a limited government, by the people, getting trounced again.

it should amaze me that so many of you think it is some form of government intrusion that you have no right to be drunk in public, but I am not.
As for our founding fathers, up to the early 1870s, it was common for public pillorying for public drunkenness. During the Civil war U.S. Grant had solders strapped spread eagle on wagon wheel for Public drunkenness.
At no time has being drunk in public been a right; tolerated, yes, legal, no. Please don't confuse public tolerance for legal right.
