I believe when Nixon, or whomever first proposed this Bill, this country was in utter turmoil. We were a nation divided. The below link might be a reason such a Bill came to being.

So Doove, please, with all your infinite wisdom, break it down for us. What exactly does this new bit of legislation entail?
Doove?

Here's a copy of the Bill:

I stated there was a law passed making Protesting (Free Speech) whereas SS are present a Felony. So where have I been misinformed?

Thanks for posting it. Now i would suggest you read it.

All it says is you can't enter an area that's posted, cordoned off, or restricted by the secret service. Stand on your side of the yellow tape and you can protest to your heart's delight.

And it sounds to me like it's only a felony if you trespass either while carrying a dangerous weapon or firearm, or while inflicting serious bodily injury on someone else.

And again, i'll suggest you re-watch the video you posted to start the thread.

Perhaps you didn't hear the part where i said "stand on your side of the yellow tape and you can protest to your heart's delight".

At least you've got "loyalty" goin' for ya.

At the risk of being one of the "jerks", here is some relevant information.

The law merely updates a measure that has been on the books since it was signed by then-President Richard Nixon in 1971, making it a federal crime to trespass on grounds secured by the Secret Service. No new penalties were added, and the bill was not signed “secretly” as some claim. The White House announced the signing publicly just as it does for other such routine measures.

It merely amended Title 18, Chapter 84, Section 1752 of the U.S. Code — just as then-President George W. Bush did in 2006 when he signed the Patriot Act. (Click on the link to the U.S. Code and you can see how it was amended in 1982, 1984, 1994 and 2006.)

According to the official report of the full House Judiciary Committee (which approved it on a voice vote, without recorded opposition), the bill adds two things to previously existing law:

• It specifies that it is unlawful to enter secured areas of the White House and its grounds, or the vice president’s official residence and grounds. Previously, according to the report, the law prohibited unlawful entry to any building or ground, secured by the Secret Service, where the president or vice president is “temporarily” visiting. That forced the Secret Service to rely on a District of Columbia law that “addresses only minor misdemeanor infractions” even if somebody were to breach the White House residence itself.
• The new law revises the standard that prosecutors must meet to gain a conviction, from proving that a violation was committed “willfully and knowingly” to merely proving that it was committed “knowingly.”

Perhaps Autumn, or one of her growing number of friends, can point out where in the law it says you can't flash nasty signs or scream "you suck" either in view of, or within earshot of, the President.

I'm patient. I'll wait.
