Her crime is you cannot disrupt the Congress, which IMO was her intent. In other words, the law, which I personally do not agree with, allows certain space for protest, and I can assure you, that space is not in the hall where the Pres. is speaking

Personally, I think her statement " . . . and I didn't want to be disruptive out of respect for her" is a load of cr*p because that is exactly what she did by wearing that shirt, which caused a disruption, albeit not during the speech itself, but surely it could have occured then I mean did she actually think that shirt was in any way more respectful than a verbal heckle

In the end, I think she got what she wanted, publicity - and she is very very clever at doing that.

I also think she should have been able to wear that shirt in the Congress.

But, that is my opinion.
