Grrrr. It's illegal to turn your back on the president?

I'd try to write eloquently about this, but so many others already have, and I'm steamed.

The first link I saw (from cadhla) was to vyoma who writes this entry (note the links in the comments to various other articles on the matter):

And camwyn gives information on where to get contact information for your senator and representative, if you need that information, here:

Update: Note the mention (of at least the statement of intent) in the last paragraph of the CNN article, here:

I should add to that statement, that I'm less steamed than when I first posted. My temper tends to cool, and I can certainly see why they would not want that sort of thing at an occasion like that. On the other hand, it's a lot less "disrupting" a protest than many, and as I said, I think they went that one last step too far in dealing with it.

*nods* I dont think that arresting people, or threatening to, was "right."
