That’s definitely part of it. “Look at me, I’m a Senator! Me, Kyrsten Sinema! I can kill the $15 minimum wage with a twee curtsy and a backpack!” But her fragile psyche also won’t allow her to withstand the slightest criticism from anyone she’s ostensibly aligned with, so she seeks refuge in public toilets and only talks to Senate Republicans.
Unprocessed childhood trauma is a bitch. Constant, pointless rebellion against whichever “family” she manages to find herself in. I swear to dog, she’s on her way to Opus Dei or Scientology.
I realize you’re joking but I’m going to risk belaboring the point because I’m serious. People using the restroom while you’re in there are not at all the same as people pointedly following you into the restroom.
Using a law written to stop sex crimes (so rarely prosecuted on campus) to harass female protesters is truly sick & twisted.
Women in restrooms talk to women who are in stalls all the time. I think the protesters effectively communicated that Sinema is stonewalling her constituents & running away from her responsibility.
Yes. I was, but let me add that in my opinion, prosecuting the water-closet interlopers is not one of the more pressing needs of the people of Maricopa County or Arizona. Now prosecuting Governor Ducey, well that would be something. That fucker is killing people.
Hey, maybe they were “interfering with official acts”,
too. Seems like people are always doing that. Like when they ask, “what am I being arrested for?” or fail to show proper respect for authora-tie. Interference!!
Having lived through that, would disagree. When the UCPD needed to flex, it invariably called Oakland PD to step in and wield the clubs, mace and rubber bullets.
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.[4]
This has since been held to apply to all levels of government.
