Kringle Hopes President Can Find Time to Read Document, Abide by Its Laws
December 20, 2007, Washington, DC – This morning, Santa Claus (in the person of noted constitutional lawyer Bill Goodman) drove his sleigh to the White House to deliver thousands of copies of the U.S. Constitution to President Bush.
Americans from all over the country – more than 37,000 of them – asked that a copy of the Constitution be delivered to the President in their name and cordially requested that he make time in his busy schedule to read it.

Incidentally, "Free Speech Zones" were established to protect the speakers, not the "goverment".

We shouldn't have Seattle's GTO chaos running rampant in every city now should we?
Should we?

I'm sure you meant the WTO and not the GTO.
So in response to that question:
Hell yeah!
The good old boy's WTO meetings are just plain wicked!
I think every city that hosts one should should stage a riot!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that kind of like the government saying; "We're restricting your ability to freely assemble in order to protect your freedom to assemble?"

the riots incited in Seattle because of the WTO protests were started by "left-wing anarchist groups [that] are actually controlled by the state and used to demonize peaceful protesters."
the same thing happened in Quebec at the SPP summit earlier this year when three plain-clothes police provocateurs try to start another riot...
a so-called "Free Speech Zone" is definately a violation of the 1st Amendment...

However, in this (that) case, we're not merely discussing public "speech", we are discussing pubic safety.

When, M3rls, should we protect our (let's call it) "freedom of expression" over our (let's call it) "freedom of freedom from 'freedom of expression', a.k.a, what we are blessed by the blood of our forefathers to call 'common ol' everyday annoying Freedom'"?

But, then again, we allegedly came here to talk about Bush. So let's move on, m!
