WE'VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
The ACLU was in court again over conditions for protesters at the 2008 Democratic Convention:
The American Civil Liberties Union and several advocacy groups have filed an amended complaint to their lawsuit against the U.S. Secret Service and the city and county of Denver that says protesters and demonstrators may have their First Amendment rights violated by security restrictions.And how will the protest area be enclosed?
The ACLU has said it wants to avoid the conditions that existed during the 2004 convention in Boston, where protesters were caged, infuriating First Amendment advocates
The fence around the public demonstration zone outside the Democratic National Convention will be chicken wire or chain link, authorities revealed in U.S. District Court today. - Denver PostThe comparison to Boston?
Cement barriers, 8-foot-tall chain-link fencing, and heavy black netting have been installed around the protest zone outside the FleetCenter. - Boston Globe

It's like going to Wendy's to buy a Big Mac.....you can certainly make a point in asking for it but they're not going to be able to deliver.
Seems like protestors would be better served by protesting at the convention of the party who's currently in power.

You may recall from school that there is more than one branch of government.
