In Washington today, a woman who was arrested Thursday for heckling Mr. Hu in a ceremony at the White House appeared on a misdemeanor count in Federal District Court. Wenyi Wang was charged with harassing, intimidating or threatening a foreign official and was released pending a court appearance next month.

Apparently heckling Communist party leaders with shameful human rights records is now illegal in the United States. How does one woman with a press pass intimidate the leader of a foreign nation with a phalanx of security flanking him? How do you harass a man who puts members of spiritual movements into prison for debating with government policies? Is it possible to threaten a person in charge of a country that executes more people per year than all others combined?
There goes the First Amendment, at least we know the Second Amendment is safe is this political climate…
