At issue was an ordinance the council approved in 2005 as a legal companion to the day-laborer center, barring workers and motorists from striking deals for employment on the streets. The courts have generally required that communities barring public solicitation for work -- a form of speech -- must provide an alternative venue for that speech, such as a hiring site.

I have to wonder if these activist judges also demand an alternate location for prostitutes to do their soliciting, since it's also a form of speech.

Maybe the Herndon Mayor and council should set up a "free speech zone" for the day laborers (oh, heck! make it for the prostitutes, too) to solicit work - on the right-of-way in front of the activist judge's house.

She shouldn't mind. Too much.

Good idea, but unfortunately the judge’s house is probably outside the city. That would be typical of judges and legislators who want to be “generous” without suffering the consequences themselves.
