We are not a democracy, we are a constitutional republic. Only liberals think that 50.1% approval of anything makes it okay.

If I have a house bordered by three streets, and protesters are able to take all three streets, place loudspeakers pointing at my house and play rap music and speeches by Fidel Castro at top volume 24x7, then that is okay with you?

Stay on subject please.

So, when Gore was hounded to get out of "Cheney's house" back in 2000, the cops should have been busting heads (many of whom were/are regular FR posters), right?

Look, you already lost the debate when you decided to take the position that representatives (thanx for the lecture - LOL) can regulate the BoR.

Peaceable assembly means just that - peaceable assembly. It doesn't mean between the hours of 9-5, it doesn't mean no rap music, it doesn't mean not on public property.

You start approving of 'reasonable' limits to the BoR, the next thing you know, others who hold differing opinions may begin doing the same thing. Oops, they are already are - bummer dude!
