O'Lielly's lesson on the Constitution
Yes ladies and gentlemen, apparently Bill O'Reilly has the belief that he has a right to harass a security guard protecting a POTUS candidate. Here is his civics lesson.

1. Blo'Highly conveniently broadens the reach of the First Amendment
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.


You see anything in there about what campaign staff can do? I don't. :shrug:

2. He's not talking about freedom of the press, not even freedom of the push.
Instead, he's claiming freedom of the jerk.

3. He maybe right
I saw the clip and the staffer was intentionally trying to block the camera man. The staffer was out of line. It is freedom of the press - not just the left press.
