    As I’ve said before, I don’t want those people raising any children.

    *shudder*

    And then in a couple of years, we can dress the girls up in “Little House on the Prairie” dresses and marry them off to the highest bidder.

    What possibly go wrong?

    How horrendously awful, to send those kids back to, for many of them, certain death. And largely due to problems of our nation’s own making in Latin America. Sometimes I lose faith in our own countrymen and women.

    Now who’s treating children as punishment? Nope.
    (I understand it’s a joke; it just made me a bit uncomfortable)

    A doubt. The recent SC decision on antiabortion folks have the right to picket outside clinics? It stands for anybodyelse doing pickets right? Like workers in a strike?

    The ruling almost certainly would have to be generally applicable, as a matter of law. There is a lengthy case law that has limited “time, place and manner” restrictions” on free speech rights. I don’t think this case necessarily contradicts any of the prior case law.

    But that’s as a matter of law. As a matter of practice..well, that’s something else. So, for example, if you are marching in an “Occupy” protest, you are still very likely to be maced, firebombed, beaten and jailed. All blatantly unconstitutional of course, but it still seems to happen with alarming regularity.
