    Even if you do everything right and you get a "permit" to exercise your first amendment right to peaceably assemble in Washington DC, the secret service can still shut you down. Hundreds of parents and their children were kicked out of Lafayette Park Saturday night by the secret service even though they had a permit to be there for childhood cancer awareness.
    The Secret Service has since apologized but maybe it's a good time to rewrite that old and outdated Bill Of Rights to be closer to reality!

    Amendment I
    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble WITH A PERMIT, UNLESS THE SECRET SERVICE SAYS NO, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

    They can chase kids out of Lafayette Park but can't seem to keep crazy people out of the WH or even make sure the front door is locked.

    Figures.

    Crazy people might have rocks, bottles, or sharp sticks, and are likely to put up a fight. Children with candles presents much less risk.

    Must protect POTUS from candle-weilding vigil-antes!

    But, but, but ...

    The Pope was coming !!!

    Gawd forbid that he might be asked to suffer the little children or heal the sick when he's so busy redistributing caring for the poor and imploring God Gaia to stop the oceans from rising.

    Clearly the Secret Service was exercising the religious freedom aspect of 1A, which when it comes to Lenin's Pope trumps freedom of assembly.

    DOUBLE, no TRIPLE :sarcasm:
