SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Two women — members of a group called Breasts Not Bombs — were arrested after they stripped off their tops at the state Capitol to protest measures backed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Tuesday’s special election ballot.
Other protesters were permitted to pare to their brassieres or to pasties without being arrested. Some men in the group also removed their shirts.
But a federal judge ruled Friday that there is no First Amendment right to bare breasts on the grounds of the state Capitol.
Puritanical nonsense at its finest. In other countries this wouldn’t even be news worthy. I still have to wonder what good can come from taking police away from real crime to deal with a group of nudists harassing a local politician. I think I’ll have to go open a medicinal marijuana shop in California if this is what their idea of law enforcement is all about.
