Buffer zones?

[riser3]

Buh-bye. So why are those now unconstitutional however it is OK to cordon off a city to prevent protesters from getting within the same distance to delegates at a summit like G7 or WTO?

Why don't you read the UNANIMOUS decision and find out.

Look, I know that when someone like you reviews a Supreme Court decision it's not done with any concern for law, precedent or the Constitution; your reaction and interpretation is simply based on the result. ("Did my side win or lose?") In this case, you'd outlaw protesting abortions all together if you could or place stringent restrictions on it that effectively amount to the same thing. It's a UNANIMOUS decision but the chubby little dullard from the People's Republic of Vermont thinks he's found a glaring inconsistency. Too funny.

tl;dr

[noip]

the decision allows for a floating buffer - so there is a buffer allowed - not a 35 foot defined buffer

Wrong. Actually, I would rather go the other route and allow protesters more access to delegates and government officials. Why should the global elite be able to hide behind security from those who disagree with them and are most affected by their closed door decisions?

[freeheelwilly]

Not to mention that the WTO conference has only been held in the US once, 15 years ago (and those well behaved protesters seemed to get their message across if memory serves) and the G7 meeting has only been held in the US twice and not in 24 years. So what the hell are you even talking about? Can you make a comparison that is at least roughly temporally equivalent?

Read the UNANIMOUS decision. Or have a smart person explain it to you.

Yeah I know, you're just a hard core anarchist. That sounded cool to you when you were pullin' tubes and taking eight years to get your four year degree - so you're gonna stick with it.

That sound you hear is the air escaping from riser's head.

You seem all too familiar with this. I expect from experience?

It took me nine; I received three degrees, and worked so I had no student loans. I wasn't shy with the tube either.

[twopass]

What are these "tubes" you speak of?

I'm waffling between bongs and wieners...

[chemman]

I would bet it ain't bongs
