For wearing a t-shirt
That is why Cindy Sheehan was arrested in the chamber of the United States House of Representatives last night.
The Philadelphia Daily News has this little tidbit:
Did you know that in 1971, the Supreme Court said it was unconstitutional to arrest a man who wore a "F--- the Draft" T-shirt into the courthouse? (Cohen v. California, you can look it up.) So now Alito's on the court for 45 minutes and your civil liberties are already going down the toilet. You were warned.Cindy's arrest was unconstitutional and the charges against her should be dropped immediately.
The rapid turn toward Fascism continues.
UPDATE: Capital Police have dropped the charges against Ms. Sheehan saying they were "mistaken." The thing of it is she shouldn't have been arrested in the first place.
