Diane is calling foul on a story that seems to have taken on a life of its own in the past few days. This lame editorial in the New York Sun has a whole lot of people justifiably pissed off. But both the editorial and the chain blog reaction are missing some crucial information. The City of New York has not refused to issue a permit for next Saturday's big anti-war rally, and no one's First Amendment rights are at stake, here. The protestors have simply been told they won't be permitted to march past the U.N. due to some major public safety concerns. That's what the fuss appears to be about.
Tacitus has already acknowledged that Diane makes a good case. I'd have to agree.
