I'm not a Fox news fan, anymore than I'm a "fan" of ANY news source.... But I'm pointing out that anyone that does NOT watch a channel like FOX (as well as all the others that you can get a hold of), is simply not seeing all the news out there....
Meanwhile, your jaws should all be gaping at this insane law being quietly signed into law by this regime.....

"...the law makes it easier for the government to criminalize protest. Period. It is a federal offense, punishable by up to 10 years in prison to protest anywhere the Secret Service might be guarding someone. For another, it?s almost impossible to predict what constitutes ?disorderly or disruptive conduct? or what sorts of conduct authorities deem to ?impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions.?
The types of events and individuals warranting Secret Service protection have grown exponentially since the law was enacted in 1971. Today, any occasion that is officially defined as a National Special Security Event calls for Secret Service protection. NSSE?s can include basketball championships, concerts, and the Winter Olympics, which have nothing whatsoever to do with government business, official functions, or improving public grounds. Every Super Bowl since 9/11 has been declared an NSSE.
And that brings us to the real problem with the change to the old protest law. Instead of turning on a designated place, the protest ban turns on what persons and spaces are deemed to warrant Secret Service protection. It?s a perfect circle: The people who believe they are important enough to warrant protest can now shield themselves from protestors...."
