Roberts. Roberts is visiting Rhode Island today for a celebration of the courthouse. More than 50 protesters, many of them carrying signs, are outside the courthouse. Some of the protesters are wearing orange to symbolize prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay Prison. Protesters are also carrying signs with messages such as "Close Guantanamo," "Respect the Bill of Rights" and "Uphold the Constitution." -- With reports from Journal staff photographer Andrew Dickerman Posted by Jack Perry CommentsConcerned Person | February 12, 2008 12:07 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil.

I hope that every one of the protestors is doing something to constructively help the US government. It's wonderful that we can all take advantage of the freedoms of our democracy but being critical without contributing alternative ideas to solving our nations issues - like terrorism - isn't all that helpful
