No, it wouldn’t be seditious. Corzine would have gone out and given an “anti-war” speech. We have a “living, breathing” Constitution now. It “breathes out” the amendments to suit the government, and “breathes them back in” when it suits them.

but if these were anti-war people, it would be seditious, right?

Thank you, thank you, thank you Michelle for bringing this story to the national stage.

I’ve lived in NJ for 50 years and it is a corrupt, liberal communist state that is an a death spiral. We are bankrupt, drowning in excess high salaried public(government) employees. We have the highest taxes and insurance rates in the country and Corzine proposes raising road tolls by some 800% over 14 years….We are 14 billion in debt and he proposes borrowing 40 billion to pay it off and continue to operate the state.

He has this Republican mayor(Lonegan) assested outside a public town meeting that was called to discuss his proposals….They are supposed to have 21 of these meetings over the year but I hear you have register in advance in order to get in. You can’t just show up and get in…. We are becoming Trenton, NJ, USSR.

A great glimpse into the future of conservatives if a liberal wins in November. Non-violent pro-life protestors and anti-tax protestors have been arrested. Who’s next? Anyone and everyone who disagrees with liberal policies. Welcome to 1984…

Short memory? That sh*t has been going on for years, the fascist goon-squads thumping the skulls of people who fall on the wrong side of the politically correct thought police. See here, and here, and here, and here.

The arrest was a violation of the 1st and 10th Amendments. The move to “dismiss” the charges are violations of the 5th and 6th Amendments. To arrest a man who is simply demonstrating to redress his grievences is New Jersey’s way of usurping the Constitutional powers. To deny the man a day in court prevents speedy trial and trial by a jury of his peers. There could even be a violation of the 7th Amendment, but he could still proceed to civil trial with just the film here.

But then again, I believe that the last remaining shreds of the US Constitution died under Bill Clinton.

and just why are local police supposed to take orders from the governor’s flunkies?

I just met a couple who moved out of New Jersey, because they said it’s turning into a communist state. They hated what it has become and they were born and raised there. Elected officials ignore what the people want, just like in Russia.

sounds to me like Corzine is saying, in effect, `Let them eat cake.’ If both sides of the political spectrum have arrested people, I believe in these days, there are more of those of Liberal persuasion that use such tactics to silence free speech in the name of, oh I don’t know, some animals are more equal than others. Especially those that agree with raising taxes. Funny how quickly those that disagree are ostracized: Global Warning? Holocast
Denier! Anti-S-CHIP? Obviously not “FOR”
children or healthcare. National Socialist?? Yes, Progressive Liberals are.

PapaLouie, they did crack down-big time-on the Boston Tea Party; the “Intolerable Acts”, which was a big mistake that Parliament made, unifying the colonies. LOL. One reason why I would make a bad governor, these days, is because I would first say,”What can we do to save money for this state?”, rather than, “We need money. Let’s raise taxes.”

I’m a bit confused, here. Were they on public property or private? The cop is talking like they were on private property. He asks them to go into the building or go over to public property. I’m not exactly sure where the issue is.
