I pulled this paragraph out of an AP article covering a civil suit filed by two people who were ejected from a taxpayer-funded event where Bush was scheduled to talk about his plans for Social Security.
“The president may constitutionally make viewpoint-based exclusionary determinations in conveying his own message,” the attorneys said in the filing. “So in following the instructions of the White House and carrying out its viewpoint-based exclusions, Casper and Klinkerman did not violate any of plaintiffs’ constitutional rights.”
The reason for all this legal mumbo-jumbo? The plaintiffs’ car had a “No Blood for Oil” bumper sticker on it.
Bush’s attorneys are arguing in court for the right to exclude fellow citizens from public events based on how they look or what they wear.
This is beyond pathetic.
