Abridging

"The First Amendment does not say "Congress shall make no law abridging the right of the people to assemble, provided that the people have obtained a permit in advance, or half a permit if they can't get a complete one; and if they have paid for registration fees and fines and they don't obstruct the sidewalk, and as long as they stay away from entrances and traffic, and by the way, they should be prepared to duck the Tasers or face possibly lethal rubber bullets, or subject themselves to microwave technology used by the state."
