It doesn't actually stop protesting or make free speech/protesting a felony punishable by jail. It's when it gets out of hand, and we have often seen with the OWS crowd, does it become punishable by jail.
I think this will be struck down as unconstitutional by the SC.
Uh, no? You know perfectly well what "out of hand" means.

Read the law.
