THE ROBING ROOM

Thank you U.S. District Judge, Marcia S. Krieger, for ruling in effect, that the Constitution and Bill of Rights are trumped by the need for governmental security interests. Your ruling that approves the putting of the protesters at the Democratic National Convention in a fenced cage at a remote distance from the Convention and that protest groups have ample alternative means of expression, is like is like attempting to “put a cap on a volcano.” Your ruling is right in line with the political policy of our present national government’s disregard for the Constitution and Bill of Rights as a means of waging war against terrorism. I guess any one who protests the national policy of unending war has to be treated as a potential terrorist and their civil rights suspended.
