Good job, but our rights don’t include standing up and screaming during official proceedings. It’s more that the government can’t arrest him for writing an op-ed or Twitter feed criticizing Biden.

I don't think you understand what the first amendment actually claims

I dont think you do lol

It does not guarantee the right to disrupt official proceedings, sorry. Like I said, go try that in a court. Walk in and start protesting about a political issue and claim you're allowed to under the 1st amendment. This isn't exactly the first time someone has tried that btw.
