Waaaaawaaaaaaawaaaaaaaaaaaa!Imagine, occupation is not speech but money is. Pacs and individuals can spend unlimited money to influence our politics but they are putting limits on speech when it comes to the only way to counter the big money.
2002 McCain-Feingold campaign-finance reform law limits corporate money influence.
Do you really think so? or are you just saying that?
Well after reflecting upon the campaign contributions published on opensecrets.org over previous & current election cycles it would appear that law had little affect.

Actual donations to candidates is indeed still covered, but that is not what I was talking about and you know it. In 2110 the SC said that anyone can spend as much as they want on so-called advocacy ads. You can buy as much airtime as you want to broadcast anything you want factual or not as long as you are not directly connected with a specific campaign, you know this stuff. You can't really support a candidate but you can damned sure smear one. TV is going to be unwatchable next year.

Technically there is no such thing as freedom of speech. You can't just say anything to a cop, judge or public official without losing your freedom. Things you say can & will be used against you. Things you say will not exonerate you. The media can suppress speech, slant coverage, edit speech & events to attract viewers or if it is paid to do so. You can't yell fire in a crowded theater. You can't speak loudly during quiet hours in most cities.
Freedom of speech is a myth like Santa Clause.
Wait till Officer Crowley gets there! Then they'll be sorry!!

It won't be any more of a mess than Copley Square is after some stupid Celtics Victory Parade or the Marathon.
"The judge wrote in her 25-page decision that protesters had no right to seize Dewey Square, which they have occupied since Sept. 30.
She reasoned that while Occupy Boston protesters may be exercising their expressive rights during their protest, they have no privilege under the First Amendment to seize and hold the land on which they sit.
Drawing a distinction between the occupation of the land and the living activities on the land, McIntyre wrote, The act of occupation, this court has determined as a matter of law, is not speech. Nor is it immune from criminal prosecution for trespass or other crimes.

Boy, you have all the wingnuts thanking you for that one.
The city strongly encourages the Occupy movement to abide by the Rose Kennedy Greenway regulations and remove their tents and refrain from camping in that area, the mayor said hours after a Superior Court judge lifted the temporary restraining order that prevented the city from evicting the occupiers from their tent city.
The conditions at Dewey Square have deteriorated significantly and pose very real health and safety risks, Menino said. The city will act appropriately to fulfill our duty to preserve the publics peace and safety.
City Hall sources said the city could move in to remove the occupiers this weekend. One law enforcement source said police plan to leaflet the encampment to give the squatters notice of when they will have to strike camp.
Ultimately it will come down to a removal process, the source said.

I think it is a breach of the Constitution but when have judges ever worried about that.

I have no problems with the smelly, disease ridden, Berkenstock wearing, slogan chanting, brain dead hippie protestors as long as they obey the law... getting them to obey the law is a good thing

What part of her decision is a violation of the federal or state constitution?
They are still allowed to peacefully gather and protest they just aren't allowed to break city ordinances in the process.
