1st amendment doesn't go away just because these fools try to pass an unconstitutional law.

But California's own constitution allows abrogations of the right, whereas the federal one prohibits Congress entirely.

SEC. 3. (a) The people have the right to instruct their representatives, petition government for redress of grievances, and assemble freely to consult for the common good.

[...] (2) A statute, court rule, or other authority, including those in effect on the effective date of this subdivision, shall be broadly construed if it furthers the people’s right of access, and narrowly construed if it limits the right of access. A statute, court rule, or other authority adopted after the effective date of this subdivision that limits the right of access shall be adopted with findings demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and the need for protecting that interest.

Maybe they would reconsider if we burn down our neighborhoods too.

That would be a federal offense which would be ILLEGAL. I hope whoever gets arrested for the first amendment sues and bankrupts this stupid state.
