Ramble this:
International bridge champs face sanctions after displaying a sign that read "We didn't vote for Bush"/ Self-proclaimed environmentalist kills rare white rhino to teach conservationism/ Bird lover faces trial for killing cat/ Chestnut tree that gave Anne Frank hope to be cut down/ Meat packers duke it out in Congress over packing procedures
The First Amendment does not give people the right to yell anti-Bush slogans in a crowded theater, or even to talk during the movie at all. If we let a few lady Bridge players criticize the President, it could spread. The next thing you know Democrats in Congress will start opposing the President's appointments, passing laws against torture or defying him on funding for the Iraq War.
