unlawful free speech
Claire Schaeffer-Duffy of the Worcester Catholic Worker will not be spending any time behind bars for her role in Januarys anti-Guantanamo demonstration outside the Supreme Court.
That’s nice.
But I still can’t shake the charge against her from my head, “unlawful free speech“. I would really appreciate if any American citizen reading this would entertain a simple request by saying that out loud a few times, maybe try it in front of a small audience. Now try and imagine a judge saying it; how could we allow such an Orwellian phrase to find it’s way into a US courtroom?

Since there’s no telling how long they’ll stay up, here are a few of the comments from that T&G story on the sentencing. T&G commenters never fail to prove themselves some of the most ignorant sub-cretins on earth. Stay classy Worcester!
Ms. Schaeffer-Duffy would rather have our families die from more 9/11’s than offend Muslim extremist. These people are the worst of the worst captured on foreign soil and detained on foreign soil. They do not enjoy the protection of our Constitution nor should they. If you believe they are, then you must insist we immediately declare war on China, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia.
If we never lifted a finger in aggression again the only Americans still alive will be governed by Sharia law and living in fear soon after. Don’t forget who paid for your privilege to be a peace activist.

I could protest too if I didn’t have to work for a living.

I have to wonder how scary one really thinks the U.S. Government is when one constantly goes out of their way to be placed in Government custody. I wonder if Scotty or Claire would so blithely arrange for themselves to be detained under the Taliban (or in Iran, Syria, etc). That would take guts. The play-acting that the S-D’s engage in is nothing more than a sad ego massage.
‘Oooh, ooh, I’m so important that I was arrested!!! Aren’t I a rebel??? Screw the man!!! Can you spare a few bucks?…’

A slap on the wrist for these low lifes.They sympathize with terrorists who would cut our heads off at the drop of a hat.These traitors should have been given lengthy jail sentences as an example to others who would collaborate with the enemies of our country.

…I’m sure they sleep better than the Clintonistas who watched our civilians being slaughtered by Muslim terrorists all around the globe and decided it would be a swell time for a ‘peace-dividend’.
They probably should have waited for the peace, don’t ya think?

They should have locked her up and thrown the key away.

I agree with Brendan. It seems that his respondents need to spend a little more time in the grey zone. The USA is a wonderful country, but it is now governed by a president and his advisors who have significantly benefited financially from this war. We as a country hold ourselves above others. That supremacy and moral superiority would be a fallacy if we were not allowed to speak out against egregious behavior that diminishes our stature. And the decision of the court using the terminology of “unlawful free speech could only come from jurists appointed by a Republican administration. Give Ms. Schaefer-Duffy a break!
