Yes, they're allowed, dimwit. They could have stayed in Lafayette Park across the street from the White House for months or years, even decades, if they chose to ( as others have). They chose to zip-tie themselves to the White House fence and block the public sidewalk and thereby asked to be arrested. They got their wish, it seems.

That property does not belong to the president and it is not private. Doh!

I didn't say it was, dimwit. However, obstructing a public thoroughfare (defined as a public street, highway or sidewalk) is a misdemeanor. Anybody who knows anything about protesting in DC (this excludes you obviously) knows full well that chaining themselves to the White House fence and blocking the sidewalk there will get them arrested. Most who do so do so with the express purpose of being arrested. It has always been thus.
Lafayette Square is literally directly across the street, no more than 100' from where they chained themselves to the White House fence. They could have protested there from now to eternity if they had chosen to.

He knows perfectly well what you did and didn't say. It's a classic trollism to attribute some attackable position to opponents, that they never took, and then attack it.

If you actually want people to read your posts you have to learn to save the insults till the end like this repulsive liberal.

Pretty much, though it alone won't be the economic savior the GOP says it will be, just as it won't be the environmental catastrophe the environmentalists say it will.

I'm ambivalent in regards to Keystone XL as I believe it will have little, if any long term positive impact on the economy. The majority of jobs created will go away once it's built. In the long run a handful of people will make huge amount of green and stash it in offshore accounts where it does the rest of us no good. And, I don't give a shit about that.
