Yet another moronic comment from you. Having the right to petition the government does not mean you can disrupt official proceedings and refuse to leave when ordered to by the police. It's the content of speech that's protected, you can't go to jail for saying Biden sucks...you can go to jail for disrupting official proceedings and trespassing. You're pretending the right to free speech gives one the right to conduct that speech however they want, and that is again...an incredibly stupid thing to suggest.

How bizarre is it that people simply choose to misinterpret plain English?

One law says you can peacefully petition, the other says you can not be disruptive and obstructive.

This should not be something anyone finds arguable.
