I believe the megaphone man would primarily be breaking Stalking laws, not free speech laws, so that doesn't really apply here. Again, freedom of speech as described in the constitution does not restrict individual access, it restricts governmental access.

As for why people are removed during certain events, an event can choose to remove someone for being disruptive, however, that removal is not designed to protect the speaker's constitutional right to free speech (I feel like I should clarify here that I am not arguing that colleges are doing anything illegal by removing disruptive protestors).

As for the CNN example, that question did not come down to equal access and I really see no reason to get another large debate which I don't feel is even relevant to this conversation.

Finally, what do I propose:

Well, I don't really think there is a problem. Certainly not a constitutional problem. I think that the White House should butt out and stop overstepping. I believe that your proposition would possibly be unconstitutional (as I've explained numerous times). Any problems within any particularly University should be handled as the University sees fit.

a) Correct, and if the police, don't or won't do their jobs, then what do you do?

b) So you've changed your mind on this?

c) If the WH has the right to whether the press are aloud in or not, then what was wrong with not allowing certain individuals?

d) If the rest of the entire world, one way or another, ended up with tyrannical leaders, who did everything possible to shut down speech and communication only by individuals seen to be on the left, would that be ok, or should America do something about it?

a) ...Do you think this is a conversation about stalking?

b) No.

c) The issue was not with equal access, it was with revoking a pass without cause.

d) If it isn't in the USA, it isn't covered by the Constitution, so I'm not sure why this should matter.
