Secret Service can dictate no-free-speech zones.

Emphasis mine:

Oh, and just to show my geekiness a bit:

With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.

How can stuff like this stand up when we can't get the idiots from that Kansas church to leave funerals alone?

It's not "of the People, by the People, and for the People" anymore.  Now it's "of the People, by the Lawyers, and for the Lawyers."

"If you ever have to ask the "Why" of thing, then the answer is usually "money".....  When the answer is not "Money", and Government is involved, then it is "power". "

Those Kansas idiots generate income for themselves and for the Legal System with their antics..... this Legislation will do likewise..... and it further increases the Power of the Federal Government.
The Right to Keep and BEAR Arms is enshrined explicitly in both our State and Federal Constitutions, yet most of us are afraid to actually excercise that Right, for very good reason: there is a good chance of being arrested........ and  THAT is a damned shame.  III.

Doesn't this Violate the Prime Directive ?

He was quoting a judge from the generation before his (as in lifetime, not series wise).... apparently made it into textbooks and all of that.

Social commentary in all of the different Trek series has always been most interesting and even profound at times.
