This vexes me. I am terribly vexed.

I see a difference between moving a group across the street which is known for denying access to a facility so they can still protest without being a hazard. The people trying to get into the PP have rights too, we need to create balance for both.

The situation where protesters with signs are moved a quarter mile away behind a stadium in a fenced off square, that is a ludicrous caricature of a security measure.

It is a normal procedure to fence off a route the president takes so protesters and the public are not allowed to get dangerously or disruptively close to him, but moving them a quarter mile away only serves the purpose of stifling free speech.
