Yeah, the law usually follows people getting really upset. The court system and the concept of "standing" which is the most undemocratic thing ever are pretty FUBAR right now.. Even super liberal lawyers are like, well, you have to cull the case load somehow. So Congress shall make no laws prohibiting the right to protest your grievances, but it's okay if the Supreme court just decides whether or not YOU have the right to bring a case, regardless of it's merit. Pretty sure that is not what the FF really wanted.
