Florida Criminalizes Protesting

[Labster]

So, bets on how long before a case winds up in front of the Supreme Court?

With this court, who knows?  Yesterday they said it was fine to sentence children to life in prison without the possibility of parole.  And even if they decide to uphold free speech this time, I would expect the limitation on municipal budgets to survive a court challenge.  States have pretty wide latitude to regulate their cities.  The idea that police budgets could not functionally be decreased is still fairly pernicious.

I eagerly anticipate a Promise Keepers rally or some Trumpistas getting rounded up under this measure... though it does sound like something that could be challenged on a constitutional basis, and I expect the ACLU or a similar group will be doing so right quick.

Why would the police arrest them when it's always clear that the Antifa side started the riot?  These are laws that are very easy to enforce against whatever side the police favors.
