Is anyone speculating on whether or not the ACLU will file a suit against them?

I disagree. The protesters get a parade route that shuts down a big chunk of downtown during the day and a protest site very close to the convention hall. Plus, Recreate 68 has bullied itself into getting the protest venue they wanted, Civic Center Park, between the Capitol and city hall, for their opening protest. That's not enough for them - they wanted to be within shouting distance of the delegates to harass them.

That’s all well and good, but trying to fence in the animals on the far left (e.g.,the nutroots and the recreate 68 crowd) will be an exercise in futility.

Denver’s going to burn. Bet on it.

The demonstrators maintain that the First Amendment protects the throwing of feces and urine at others as an expression of free speech. The court has disagreed.

Actually the Democrats attending the convention have a freespeech right the ACLU and their running dog lackeys were seeking to have crushed by mob action.

I'm quite happy the courts did not see fit to add the weight of government action to this attempt to crush democracy.

Now we'll get to see the Democrats themselves make fools of each other. I assure you they need no help from a bunch of commie pigs in doing that.

Where are the kooks? Where is the sympathetic media?

Oh right - when Libs do it it’s reasonable....

Hopefully the GOP will not stifle free speech of protesters and their convention in St. Paul.

And these are the people ranting about the demonstrators in China not being allowed to disrupt the games.

I love the smell of hypocrisy.
