First Amendment a felony?

  • This may have been posted here, but I just watched the video on YouTube.

    The Secret Service can determine free speech zones?

    I understand it was passed months ago, but I never heard about it.

    Obama signs bill 'in secret' making FREE S...

    And yet another 'bill' signed into law in secret. HR 347. Obama does it again. This time the attack is against the First Amendment and free speech. This new law make 'No Free Speech" Zones wherever the Secret Service says so. Bye bye Protests. Bye bye Free Speech. Bye bye Constitution.

    Did the passage of HR 347 make it illegal to protest anywhere the Secret Service is present?

    It shouldn't have been passed in the first place.

    So like the video said....are you telling me a person can't stand on the opposite side of the street from the President and protest his policies?

    From my understanding, it refers to people trespassing in buildings and structured deemed "secure" by the Secret Service, no? I mean, I don't see anything wrong with proper security protocols to protect the President and other high value personnel. AFAIK, that doesn't mean you can't protest across the street. I'll go back in and read it to see.

    Not being able to protest around the President so he can keep up appearances does not fall within those exceptions.

    Can you give me the case cite to support your position?

    If the rationale is for security reasons (or other legitimate reasons), then yes, it falls within the exception.

    More of a security thing, IMO.

    It is in line with the Patriot Act. Could it be abused? Definitely. Does that mean it will? No.

    Bills like this need to monitored closely to see how they are inforced, but if used correctly, I see the positives from them as well.
