kallend 2,156 #26 January 8, 2004 Quote"Maybe they haven't yet had their shoes confiscated at an airport, or been imprisoned indefinitely without charge, trial or access to an attorney" ____________________________________________ Or had an airliner flown into their house by a religious zealot in hot pursuit of a flock of virgins. I take that as a concession that we have indeed lost freedoms under this administration.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

kallend 2,156 #27 January 8, 2004 Quote" Those who are currently paying taxes are paying less of them.. True, I make a 6 figure salary and paid several hundred dollars less in taxes. Unfortunately my health insurance premiums have increased more than my tax decreased, and my energy costs have skyrocketed (who was Bush's advisor on energy? - oh yes, Ken Lay)....

lawrocket 3 #28 January 8, 2004 QuoteBursey’s companions obliged, but Bursey didn’t. As Bursey tells it, he asked the cops if the reason they wanted him to move was the content of his anti-war sign. The police said yes and again asked him to relocate, to which Bursey replied, “I am in the free speech zone. I’m in America.” The dude did something fucking brilliant. By asking the cop whether he was removed because of the content of his sign, he now has evidence that the restriction was a content-based prior restraint of political speech, which is typically a big no-no. I hope this dude takes it further up. Still, there is the argument that it is not a free speech zone, and airports have historically been identified as restricted in terms of free speech. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #29 January 8, 2004 Quoteairports have historically been identified as restricted in terms of free speech. In terms of what. I'm assuming you mean speach that could indicate a threat or induce panic. Such as talking about a bomb in an airport. Are there restrictions regarding criticizing political office holders in airports? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, and I think you may have Bush mixed up with Clinton on the energy thing. Clinton was the best friend Enron ever had.

lawrocket 3 #31 January 8, 2004 You are correct that in the Krishna Consciousness case, the Supreme Court stated in dicta that speech activity could be limited to the outside sidewalk. And you are correct that this restriction on free speech seems pretty overbroad (note: I do not disagree that some of this is bullshit. The problem is that it is established bullshit). Still, the airport made a free speech zone, and that standard would be tough to show as overly restrictive. Still, if the restriction is shown to be content based, that's a whole new ballgame.
