I guess the ACLU has to test everything. Let them. I see nothing from the article you and 'e' just posted to make me think it shouldn't be enacted. I've been to DC when MANY different events are, and have been held in April (WTO, World Bank, NATO--I was even there when Oklahoma City bombing happened.) BTW, the hotels have been all in Zone One. If you've been there, you know I'm talking high rent territory, and very close to the WH and other arms of our Government. The Secret Service works with the other agencies well. The protesters have stayed in the nice hotels where I have been, AND mostly seem to be paid for protesting (expensive communication gear, radio, cellphone, digital cameras, etc...even their clothing is supposed to look "hippish", but I notice most of it was clean, color coordinated, and expensive.) The protesters were kept in very specific areas, and considerably away from the WH, Blair House, etc. They were free to protest. All of this was before 9-11 however. So I'd like to see precisely the difference in what was then in this regard, and what is being proposed now.
