The lawsuit charges that federal agents, East Lampeter Township police officers and Pennsylvania State Police troopers violated the men's constitutional rights by illegally arresting them in order to suppress a peaceful, symbolic political protest against President Bush.

NEW YORK (AP) --
Quote:
About a dozen anti-war protesters were arrested Tuesday morning during a peaceful demonstration of President Bush's speech before the U.N. General Assembly.

The arrestees were among about 400 protesters opposing the Bush Administration's war in Iraq, and its incarceration in Guantanamo Bay of more than 300 men on suspicion of terrorism or links to al-Qaida or the Taliban. Many in the crowd wore orange jumpsuits in solidarity with the Guantanamo detainees.

The point is Bush arrested citizens for peaceful protests thus violating their 1st amendment rights.

Are there any threads that don't instantly devolve into partisan bickering? My god, there's plenty to discuss in the OP. I'm wondering if I should waste my time giving an opinion.
