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?

Right to "Peaceably Assemble". Once things are thrown at cops or the chants become violent or threatening, then it becomes an "unlawful assembly". The first part is also important. "Congress shall make no law..." This is the argument woke culture uses as an excuse to cancel.

loopholes to the constitution are generated by M.O.

Its a police state, its only going to get worse. They continue to alter civil rights and nothing is being done. How can anyone, regardless out political preferences actually be okay with this. If a call for unity can get any louder? This is a BIG problem

I have always wondered the same thing!

100% arbitrarily defined by local law enforcement. We've decided, you all MUST go home at 8pm, & at 8:01 we have the right to assault you with pepper spray & rubber bullets, we have the right to destroy your video cameras (even press) & detain you indefinitely. #PoliceReformNow

Freedom of speech and assembly, absolutely. People do not have a right to violently assault people, commit arson and steal or destroy property.

This is similar to 2nd Amendment arguments regarding gun ownership. Functionally there aren't any (very few?) absolutes in the Constitution.
