I was driving home from school, and Rush brought this up. I'm going to try and get every fact in, but I had no paper, so if I leave something out, sorry.

A group of essay contest winners on Freedom were visiting the Jefferson Memorial. While there, the group was overcome by a spell of patriotism and began singing the National Anthem.

A National Park employee came up to them and told them in mid-verse, that they needed to halt their activities. Suuposedly they group of more than 26 were drawing a crowd, and according to law, any group of more than 26, which draws a croud, will be considered a demonstration in which A PERMIT IS NEEDED!!

Irony...the essay contest was titled: "Cost of Freedom."

This is fucking horrible. They should not have to have a permit to assemble. They have the right. And by golly, they were singing the National Anthem.

BB is getting a little out of hand here boys and girls...

The constitution grants the Right to Assembly.
If you are required to get a permit it is not a right but a privelege.
You don't need a permit to exercize a right. That law requiring a permit is clearly unconstitutional in my opinion. As long as it isn't challenged it will stand.

Woof.
If it's so sick, why are you laughing?
