Florida's governor has just signed a law that makes it a serious felony to assemble, and to petition the Government, if that assembly has anything to do with Black Lives mattering.
It also makes it OK for vehicle drivers to run down people assembling and petitioning; no criminal charges are to be allowed for running Black Lives petitioners down in Florida. There is an associated rumor that the legislature is working on adding liability for car repairs to the law: Black Lives assemblers and petitioners who are run down by Florida drivers will be held liable for the cost of repairing all damage done to the vehicles involved in the new law's held harmless mayhem.
But on the other hand:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
But Florida will.
And has.
I think Oklahoma has done so also.
