The Edison Township Council in New Jersey recently adopted new rules for public comments where speakers are prohibited from using props while talking, including the American flag and U.S. Constitution.
In protest of the new rule, attorney Joel Bassoff held up a copy of the Constitution and was immediately warned by a councilman that his speaking time was forfeited.
“You took an oath to the U.S. Constitution, which includes allowing free speech,” Bassoff said as three police officers approached him and forced him to quit speaking.
