What is the deal with the Talkeetna Bluegrass festival this year? I mean with the bond ordinance limiting attendance to 1000 it sounds like? Think it will be interesting to see 3000 people on the highway pissed off they can't get in.

Sounds like the makings of an interesting lawsuit. See you there!

From http://fact.trib.com/1st.assemble.html:

"Freedom of speech and of the press are fundamental rights which are safeguarded by the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Federal Constitution. ... The right of peaceable assembly is a right cognate to those of free speech and is equally fundamental. As this Court said in United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542, 552: `The very idea of a government, republican in form, implies a right on the part of its citizens to meet peaceably for consultation in respect to public affairs, and to petition for a redress of grievances.' The First Amendment of the Federal Constitution expressly guarantees that right against abridgment by Congress. But explicit mention there does not argue exclusion elsewhere. For the right is one that cannot be denied without violating those fundamental principles of liberty and justice which lie at the base of all civil and political institutions, -- principles which the Fourteenth Amendment embodies in the general terms of its due process clause." _ Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, De Jonge v. Oregon (1937)
