The other issue is the presidents movements usurping public spaces and disrupting commerce and blocking the public's constitutionally protected freedom of movement (and the VP, and the Speaker, ad nauseum)... The day will come when someone will lose a contract, or some such event, because the unannounced movements of the president and men in dark suits blocking off public spaces. A lawsuit will result and the government will lose - as it is a clear issue that no one has the constitutional right to interrupt the citizenry's access to public spaces, roads, parks, the airspace, etc... We already tossed one King off the continent over these types of issues... I have no desire to see the president injured, or even threatened, but when it comes to violating my rights versus his 'possible' injury because he has chosen to go out in public, he will have to take his chances just like I do when I step off my porch every morning... denny Funny you should mention that. President Bush's recent visit to Seattle delayed me over an hour while I was on my way to the pharmacist. What if it had been an emergency and I had died? There were no alternative routes due to the constrictions of lots of water and narrow bits of land in the Seattle area. The Southcenter Mall was virtually shut down for hours. The entire mall! Because the police had blocked off *every* road that led to it. You probably could have fired a cannon through there and not hit anyone. Bush was not anywhere near the mall except for two periods of less than five minutes as he traveled the freeway nearby. In fact, people have been killed by Presidential motorcades, some recently. These things are dangerous. The Secret Service really needs to work on the disruption and hazards to safety caused by their security. Just because the SS guys are willing to take a bullet for the President does not meant that everyone else in the country feels the same way. |
