Did You Know - Unconstitutional

It has become clear to me that a stupidity that is almost unfathomable has become the politics of the day. Unless there are pieces to the story that are not reported in the article quoted below, this has clearly got to be unconstitutional. There is simply no allowance under our Constitution for free speech to be blocked just because it is inconvenient.

A 74-year-old retired mathematician who sells anti-Bush buttons at a Maryland farmers' market has become a symbol of free speech to some people. Others say Alan McConnell is a nuisance.

McConnell was at the market in Kensington as usual yesterday, selling buttons that say "Impeach Him" He has sold the $1 buttons for months; he told The Washington Post he uses the money earned to pay for "Impeach Them Both" yard signs.

McConnell showed up this weekend, when police arrested him and forcibly carried him to a squad car. A crowd of about 40 McConnell supporters booed the arrest, chanting "Free speech!"
