No, my fake persona that's fucking with the guy who thinks he's a chick does.

You got anyone you need sued?

He prefers to administer lawyerly ass-fuckings personally.

Or so I hear.

You're assuming it's a public forum. The fact that it was ticketed suggested that it was not entirely public.

Whether or not it was a public forum, it was a government actor, and a content-based restriction. And Bush was making a presidential visit. If you think it was essentially a campaign event, why were tax dollars paying for it? They're only supposed to pay Pakistanis to help his campaign.

And I didn't say the White House made the call here. I just said it was wrong.

So much for all that feminist chatter . . .

The day there is no more glass ceiling and no more sexual double standard is the day I change my ways. You guys should just think of it as the price you have to pay for the other advantages you have in life.

If they started yelling, still wrong?

By the way how could an ambassador's wife be an effective undercover agent?

You haven't read a single Le Carre novel, have you?

Good God, man. Your knowledge of Gilligan is encyclopedic, and you miss this shit?

In the meantime, send a letter to Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-WV), Sen. Robert C. Byrd (D-WV), or Gov. Bob Wise (D), all of whom presumably have a little more control over the W.V. Capitol Police, who were the ones who asked the putative protestors to move or leave.

and have the guy fired (Mr. Rank) fired.

Start acting like a man and we'll start treating you like one - a man pays his own way.*

*Cue for all the NotMe's a man posters here.

If one of them had a particularly high-pitched voice, more or less wrong? If the woman took off her t-shirt, and had a bra on underneath, could she be ejected for improper dress? What if she didn't have a bra on? If Erie had been decided differently, in accordance with the dissent by the then chief justice, how would your answer change? What if Erie had been denied cert? If Bork had been appointed, and the WV couple sued and this went to the SC, what opinion might he have written?

If she's hot, all is forgiven. If she has man tits like Not Me, incarceration without trial.

but really I'm trying to get a sense from ty if he sees any 1A limits in this situation. The absolutist position is an easy one in principle.

By making him look like an idiot? Sure, I guess.

Do with them whatever they were doing with other people who yell. (Including the people yelling pro-Bush stuff.)

At that point it seems like it's somewhat fact-specific. If it's an arena with a big crowd and a good sound system, and a lot of people are yelling, why crack down on them? If it's a smaller room and everyone else is being quiet, and the yelling is pretty disruptive, then take the heckler out.

His taste in women.

He isn't asking you to love him.

I meant "thinks he's a chick."
Atticus, in perhaps the funniest post ever, said "pretending to be."
I believe tis is the more standard school of thought.
