Well, after the fracas in the Capitol the other night, the Chief of the Capitol Police has apologized both to Cindy Sheehan and to Beverly Young, the two women who were arrested for their apparel choice at the State of the Union. Charges against both women have been dropped by the Capitol Police.
Now, while I don’t support either woman’s t-shirt (one was pro-troops, another was anti-war) I believe that the State of the Union address is the President’s forum, and the place for protestors is not in the House Gallery.
