Colorado bill may gut First Amendment

If you were looking for a serious legislative proposal that violates the First Amendment more blatantly than perhaps any other in several years, the anticipation may have finally ended.

In Colorado, Senate Bill 192 would pulverize free speech by restricting demonstrations on public property. This right-wing bill would make it a crime to carry a sign larger than 2 feet by 3 feet or more than one sign, or protest within 300 feet of a targeted residence. The bill was actually approved by the Colorado House, despite being so clearly unconstitutional you can cut it with a booger scraper.

If there was a law like this in our area, that would pretty much put the kibosh on our protests we've been conducting against that teen behavior modification center. Or maybe not - because if it was up to me, I'd ignore this law because it's unconstitutional.

If the Colorado bill becomes law, it'll be an absolute miracle if there isn't a lawsuit against it almost immediately.
