Now Right Here You Got Yourself Catch 23

Okay, so here’s the deal.  Some folks have been wanting to Occupy the Supreme Court.

But, you got this:

Title 40, Subtitle II, Part C, Chapter 61, Subchapter IV, Section 6135 of the US Code: “It is unlawful to parade, stand, or move in processions or assemblages in the Supreme Court Building or grounds, or to display in the Building and grounds a flag, banner, or device designed or adapted to bring into public notice a party, organization, or movement.”

Now, clearly that’s unconstitutional.  I’ve seen grandma take a hoe to a snake with less damage than Title 40, Subtitle II, Part C, Subchapter 6135 does to the First Amendment.

But, who would declare it unconstitutional?

Ah ha, you got it.

So, the Supremes, who interpret the constitution, would have to  declare that picking on them is constitutionally guaranteed.  Yeah, right, Scalia is gonna for for that.  Hell, Scalia doesn’t even think that women have a constitutional protection against discrimination.  Women protesting on the courthouse steps would give the Scalia gout or something.

Thanks to Carl for the heads-up.
