WTF
On all these meetings we need in the public comment portion of the agenda add the “right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” That would bring to light many of the problems plaguing our local governments... Oh and add about 4 extra hours for it. Redress of grievances would be a hit with the public without getting thrown out of the meetings.
The right to “petition the Government for redress of grievances” is among the oldest in our legal heritage, dating back 800 years to the Magna Carta, and receiving explicit protection in the English Bill of Rights of 1689, long before the American Revolution. Ironically, the modern Supreme Court has all but read the venerable right to petition out of the Bill of Rights, effectively holding that it has been rendered obsolete by an expanding Free Speech Clause. As with assembly, however, the right to petition is not simply an afterthought to the Free Speech Clause.
The right to petition plays an important role in American history. The Declaration of Independence justified the American Revolution by noting that King George III had repeatedly ignored petitions for redress of the colonists’ grievances.
