(75,480 posts)still has a right as an American citizen and Obama is his President whether he likes it or not, I changed my mind in the light of precedent. Cindy Sheehan was arrested at a SOTUS because then pResident Bush didn't like her T-Shirt. Grace Slick and Tricia Nixon, former President Richard Nixon's daughter, are alumnae of Finch College. Grace was invited to a tea party for the alumnae at the White House in 1969. She invited the political activist Abbie Hoffman to be her escort and planned to spike President Richard Nixon's tea with 600 micrograms of LSD. The plan was thwarted when they were prevented from entering after being recognized by White House security personnel, as Slick had been placed on an FBI blacklist. So if Grace and Abbie had threatened the President with LSD, it seems that since Nugent has threatened the President and could be armed with more than LSD, I think he shouldn't be allowed into the chambers.
