You can protest Obama to your hearts content.
You just can't block areas where he's supposed to be visiting. First of all, that's already a disturbance of the peace to block an area.
Second, if they're blocking the President, isn't it possible that they're meaning to threaten him in some way?
This doesn't just serve Obama. It's going to serve the next Republican President too. Bush probably could have used a law like that.

You mean like the sidewalk? C'mon Bridget do you REALLY think this will be used on someone why stands in front of the motorcade?
You obviously don't have any comprehension on how long before the POTUS enters an event to speak that the Secret Service secures the area...and how long people are held in the area not allowed to leave after the POTUS departs.
If you did you wouldn't have made the silly observation that you did above.

You mean those 9 unelected judicial activists? The ones that would take an "unprecedented" step in overturning a democratically passed law?
You can protest the President without blocking where he's supposed to be.
That's a very ambiguous term that gives so much leeway that "where he's supposed to be" could be defined as the same state.
So now if I'm in Midland, Texas and I want to hold an Obama protest (this is THEORY ONLY...I'm NOT holding a protest of any kind) and he's in Dallas...under the "where he's supposed to be" hypothesis I could be arrested.

I think conservatives will suddenly be for the law when a Republican is in office. I do think liberals will end up getting arrested in the future.
My apologies for my ignorance, TX. Doesn't this make things harder on the President though to allow nearly anything in the name of the first amendment?
One's right to swing one's fist ends at somebody's face. I'm pretty certain that if I tried to block the exits to the church tonight or tomorrow for service that I'd be arrested. Same thing with Wal-Mart (although I'm sure the customers would run said person over).
Because people are hypocrites. Hypocrisy doesn't make a law bad or good.
True, and I think it will be shot down.
That's true. He just put up with people throwing things at the Presidental car and trying to come up to it the morning of inaugeration.

Such as possibly the mandate in Obamacare? Yes, those judges. They're there to determine the constitutionality of a law.
I would think that if there's an organized protest that the city was informed about, then there's a place that the protesters would be assigned to be. When Bush came years ago to Winston-Salem, there was a "cage" where the protesters stayed. It wasn't really a cage. lol. It was a confined area that was sort of away from the people wanting to see the President, but when they left, they would pass the protesters by and see the signs. If anybody left the "cage" to go and disturb the ones waiting in line to see the President, then it was technically against the law. The officer could technically arrest them, but they usually told them to go back. The new law would probably insist on an arrest.
So, you can't just try to disturb the area where people are trying to get in. You can't block any other doors. The sidewalk is tricky. Technically, anybody can be there, but protesters do test their limits on it.
Oh heck, if the liberals pitch a fit, throw FACE up in their face. lol.

Wanna bet?

You'd be a hero.

Not according to Obama. What they are about to do...according to him...has never been down before.
