Sorry but that is just wrong.Wearing a t shirt is protected by the first amendment and its just as wrong to arrest her for that as it was for Clinton to have FReeper arrested for holding signs up as clintons motorcade passed by and for having those two protesters arrested for saying you suck.

I voted no on the poll btw

Wearing a t shirt is protected by the first amendment ...

Didn't you get the memo? It's only free speech when it doesn't contradict government policy. Just ask any "conservative" here.

Of course, that changes when the Democrats are in charge.

She started to get VOCAL. It wasn't her T-Shirt.
"Thus far, only the Washington Post has revealed, “She was also vocal, said U.S. Capitol Police Chief Terrance W. Gainer, and after she ignored instructions to close her jacket and quiet down, she was led out and arrested. Demonstrating in the House gallery is prohibited.” (Emphasis added.)"

The truth is not just the T-Shirt. She opened her mouth prematurely, as she was clearly there to heckle the POTUS, and wrecked Code Pinks's plans.

If a Freeper held up a political protest sign while the president was making the State of The Union Speech, they'd be removed, too. This is a rule of the chamber, attendance is by invitation only. Outside, no problemo.

I am a libertarian and i voted yes here. The capitol building has laws against demonstrations taking place inside the building and they should be followed. If she wants to demonstrate, she can step outside with the other pot and pan garage bands.

i just dont see how it was a violation of her rights if she was breaking the law.

We have laws against protesting in the House chamber. It's one of the many differences between the USA and a Banana Republic. Perhaps you'd like to see a SOTU with moonbats screaming, waving signs and stripping naked for "peace" in the Gallery?
