"Dems packed Fudge". Sorry, I just thought it funny.
Is she from Chocolate City? Sheesh. You CANT MAKE this stuff up! ;-)
No Cleveland Ohio took over Stephanie Tubbs Jones seat..one liberal hack for another
What's all the crybaby whining about anyways?
She apparantly has no concept of American History and the very floor of her own United States Congress. Things were a lot more civil in her district, than THIS!
These people need to read history, understand context. Also realize the American people are being pushed way too far on some of this Socialist cr*p.
Chocolate moose anyone?
Oh, Fudge!
We have the example in these videos of the police ejecting citizens from an open town meeting conducted on public property. It is not clear to me whether the ejection was done at the instance of the congresswoman or on the policeman's own initiative.
My question is, will she get to control free speech in such a forum? Are these not citizens exercising a constitutional right to free speech, and right of assembly, and petition of their government and redress of grievances? Of course they were. They were doing so in a public building. Police appeared not to be municipal police but university police. I presume the university police are operating under some mandate from the state legislature and have some degree of police powers, more or less than the police powers normally to be exercised by ordinary municipal police force. Are they constitutionally or legislatively mandated police or they merely university rent-a-cops? Have they been properly trained?
The citizens were ejected for making statements before the question and answer period. Why would the police eject a person for such conduct? Were they operating under instructions from the congresswoman? From the University? From their own sense of decorum? What are the rules?
It seems to me that we are by default permitting the Arlen Specters of this world to define our free speech when they can order the police to enforce their own notions of decorum. If it is the police alone who are making these judgments, should they not exercise a bias in favor of citizens rights? Or is decoram more important?
If anyone has any case law or precedent I would be happy to be educated.
Sounds like a rather vague “disorderly conduct” situation.
What happened to the Democrat National Committee “Listening Tour”?
When did if become the Democrat You-Shut-Up-And-Listen-To-Me Tour?
Or at least nosed a little. I’d expect she’d clam up and decline the question.
Best as I can tell it never was anything else...
Thank you for a new tagline that I can steal.
Check this out:
Under what authority do these people limit free speech?
Yet another DemoNazi fascist bitch. I wonder what they’ll going to do, when her constituents, (the ones that actually vote) realise, *thay* are among those who are near the top of the list of people this DemoGoon DeathCare Act, will deny treatments to?
