Your right to be ugly ends where my corneas begin. LOL

So what? Congress is supposed to defend the Constitution. Their laws are not supposed to subvert it. The SS is not above the Constitution.

GMTA. BTW, your right to think the same thoughts as me ends ... somewhere. I’ll get back to you when I think of something.

This appears like something you would see in a movie about some totalitarian country. So, someone wants to confiscate my $2400 Hasselblad? I don't think so.

These people are public figures and hence are fair game for photographers. Why do you think paparazzi can do what they do?
But maybe Michelle doesn’t want a picture of her mug or those of her kids without their burkas. After all, Muslims do have a phobia about photographing women’s faces.

“Apparently everyone in the audience was reaching for their cell phones to take a picture of the first lady and her kids.”
So what. Are taking pictures of people illegal in a public forum/square? What justification gives the SS the right to seize private property that causes no harm to those they are protecting? The first family encroached on the public square, so now the public must be subservient to a public servant's family?
How monarchical in nature, and I don't care how hard the SS job is, they chose it, people were awarded freedom instead of submission back in the day, so be it. If they are too paranoid just stay home instead of crapping on the IV Amendment, which you support so the SS can play "power trippers" and "relax".

Conversely, the public can be photographed by the government at their pleasure, at traffic lights, etc. Are we citizens, or are we subjects? Or, as I hope, are we about to become verbs?

How long will it be before the Secret Service demands that all people within eyesight range of the First Family become prostrate as they walk by, in the name of "safety" for the First Family, just like with the King of Siam in the movie?

little by little this country is taking our personal freedoms away. If we don’t wake up soon when we finally do wake up we will be paying for air.
To: OldDeckHand
We must be allowed to photograph caskets, but we must not be allowed to photograph the First Family. Gotcha.

I wonder if cell phones existed when George Bush was president? Oh that’s right they did exist. Yet the Secret Service was somehow able to protect him without our Constitutional rights being infringed upon

Didn’t this happen before? On the Vineyard perhaps? Sure I recall it.
To: Brugmansian
"Didnt this happen before? On the Vineyard perhaps? Sure I recall it." Yes, I'm sure of it too. I do remember it being in some other vacation setting, so the Vineyard could be correct. I can't remember, for sure.
