Protesters in Senate Gallery

[Proud Tiger 4,261]

As I type, protestors are being removed from the Senate gallery during a hearing on health care.   So is free speech not allowed in our Capitol?

Depends...how were they protesting?

I imagine free speech is allowed plenty in the Capitol, but if the business of the Senate is being impeded, it's reasonable to expect the protesters' removal.  

I'm not sure if you're trying to draw a parallel with the NFL protests or not.

Good grief but you are simple.

No just noting this as an example of free speech not being allowed. Fact is I support their removal.
