"Congress shall make no law

"Congress shall make no law respecting ........ or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Of course they do find a way, to invoke a law, in order to limit the First Amendment.

They'll prescribe the methods that can and cannot be used.

Your rights end; when the authorities say they end; is no way the intent of the Right and protection of that Right "Congress shall make no law"

Did the Amendment say except?

Exception: some petty municipality can ignore the Peoples Rights? "Heeheehe, we'll take your rights and shove them"

Municipality: We say you have no Rights, only those we allow you

"We don't need no stinking badges"

So far the authorities

So far the authorities haven't seem to have to much of a problem with people protesting. It is when they decide to create encampments that they have an issue (or shutting down traffic, or taking over buildings). Especially in the urban areas and difficult economic times, if you a local authority setting the precedence that it is okay to just set a little tent city where ever one please is not one they want to set. One can't say that all mass protest tactics are the same, and therefore if one is against this tactic one is against all forms of mass protest.

Yes, please let's not turn
