This bill is DOA. It doesn't pass the basic sniff test for the 1st Amendment. The part about military recruiters is legitimate. There is a difference between voicing dissent, which is fine, and actively trying to block other people from exercising their rights to communicate with each other. I am all for someone voicing their opinion- whatever that opinion is, but if they try to prevent me from talking to someone I want to talk to, they are interfering with my Constitutional rights and I'd happily stomp their guts out.
