Is it just me, or is deeming something an “unlawful assembly” a loophole they’ve found in the US Constitution? Don’t we either have the right of assembly or we don’t?

Assembly is lawful as long as they like you’re saying.
Replying to @marwilliamson
The politicians interpretting law to their favor on this issue is the problem. Technically, they didnt take away your right to assemble. They just made it more difficult for you to assemble. THATS WHY ELECTIONS MATTER. VOTE OUT THE REPUBLICAN TRASH.

Read the First Amendment. The key word is “peaceful.”

"Health emergency" is their new loophole to justify authoritarianism.
Replying to @marwilliamson
No loophole. Making right to assemble is an illegal act is unconstitutional. Full stop.
Replying to @marwilliamson
If it's peaceful, then it is legal. That's in the Constitution.

Looking at Love as Law (and this only works when being honest with yourself) you could see how "unlawful" would make sense. But we don't operate in such a way. More just reactive these days it seems.

If you have a thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yeah, and funny how they just simply ignore the “well regulated militia” part of the 2nd amendment. The 2nd amendment doesn’t say any idiot can own a gun. It states people can bear arms as part of a well regulated militia necessary for the security of a free state.

Not a loophole in Constitution, IMO, instead a systemic failure to have zero mechanisms to hold police accountable for willfully misusing their power including manufacturing illegal activity from execution of 1st Amendment rights. @ACLU @ACLUofIL @ACLU_OR
