Supreme Court Bans Protesting

By : Matt Winkeljohn – http://www.resistthetyranny.com

“Prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.”

Barrack Obama said in he feeble attempt at defending the government spying on every American citizen that -

“If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here.”

Why would we trust any branch of government these days?

The Supreme Court has come up with a new regulation banning demonstrations on its grounds, two days after a broader anti-demonstration law was declared unconstitutional.

The regulation bans activities on the court’s grounds or building such as picketing, speech-making, marching, vigils or religious services “that involve the communication or expression of views or grievances, engaged in by one or more persons, the conduct of which is reasonably likely to draw a crowd or onlookers.”

The new regulation can be found on the Supreme Court website, on the page marked, “Building Regulations,” with a note that they have been “prescribed by the Marshal and approved by the Chief by Browse to Save”>Justice of the United States.”

This all seems to stem from a man by the name of Harold Hodge Jr.  Hodge was arrested on the Supreme Court plaza in January 2011 while wearing a sign that criticized by Browse to Save”>police.

He was given a citation for violating a law that makes it a crime to “parade, stand, or move in processions or assemblages,” or to display a “flag, banner, or device designed or adapted to bring into public notice a party, organization, or movement,” at the high court’s building or grounds.

Rutherford Institute president John Whitehead, who successfully challenged the law on Hodge’s behalf, called this new regulation “repugnant” to the Constitution.

Whitehead also said -

“It almost to me seems to be directed at people like Harold Hodge, if you communicate a message and if you believe in free speech, the First Amendment’s really clear: You have a right to petition your government peacefully to redress grievances.”

“We’re going to go after it,” Whitehead added. “We’re going to do what we can to challenge it. We’re researching it right now.” Hodge has said he plans to return to the plaza and picket, hand out leaflets, sing, chant and make speeches. If he were to be arrested again, Whitehead said, his group would fight it.

As expected, the Supreme Court declined to comment.

Trust us?

I ask Obama, the Supreme Court and Congress..  What have you done to by Browse to Save”>earn the trust of We The People?

This sort of law just falls in to place with the Obama administrations war of free speech and journalism.
