Protesting your primary legislative body? Illegal.
Aww is your poor sacred freedom of speech being attacked by checks notes your President?
Umm..no? lol. Freedom of speech doesn't give the right to conduct that speech however one chooses, it gives one the ability to say or print whatever one wants without being arrested for the content of that speech. Unlike, say Russia, where you can be arrested for saying anything bad about Putin. This guy is allowed to go on the news and call Biden whatever he wants...but he's also not free to threaten Biden's life for instance because free speech has always had limits. Only people with limited education who are engaging in black and white thinking don't get that.
Correct. During an official session.
