In certain corners of the Internet, concern has been gathering about another so-called “Anti-Occupy” bill.

Last week, H.R. 347, otherwise known as the Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act, passed the House 399-3, and on Thursday it was signed into law by President Obama. In response, bloggers from the libertarian Daily Paul to the leftist Daily Kos accused the federal government of gutting the First Amendment.

Did something important happen while the rest of us were rolling our eyes at Rush Limbaugh?

According to the ACLU, there is indeed something disturbing about H.R. 347—but it had already been part of federal law long before last week. 

The new bill modifies a 1971 law that restricted entering or blocking public areas cordoned off by the Secret Service while a protected individual is passing through, or during major public events like the Super Bowl or party nominating conventions. Violators can face up to a year in jail; if they’re carrying a dangerous weapon, it’s ten.

How can they say you were blocking the sidewalk?  Did they alledged catch you not allow people to pass?  What a bunch of hooey.

They're just re-codifying current law then to show "strength"...flexing their muscle.  Our fascist state and its fascist  king leader keep pushing the envelope with the support of the neo-cons and the tacit support of the pro-Israel Christian crowd in this nation.
