Fun fact, I got arrested for loitering on my own goddamn lawn back in 2008 around the democratic debate in Philadelphia.  This was several hours after the candidates had all left town, around 2 AM if memory serves.

Were you actually charged with a crime?

Aren't Congresscritters (thank you Frumple) just the catch-all term for Senators and Representatives?
"Congress(wo)man" refers to just members of the House of Representatives, usually.

Uh... no? Congressmen/women/critters is both houses, Reps/Representatives for the House of Reps, and Senators for the Senate.

It can and maybe should be used to also refer to Senators, but typically it does not. Seriously, check a dictionary.

And the winner of the most pointless arguments award is...

I was charged with disturbing the peace but when it actually got to the court date they suddenly realized they had no case and dropped it.  This is after making me waste two afternoons going through preliminaries and making me spend a night in the drunk tank.  The judge said a very nasty word.

Yeah, to support what was said about Presidential security in the US, Obama's been to Raleigh half a dozen times at least and often I don't even know until they mention something on the radio. Yeah, occasionally part of the highway gets shut down temporarily but for the most part, people are like "Meh....'sup, O?"

I think one of the important differences is that the European road network hasn't been updated that much since the romans, so blocking something tends to have more impact.

Yup. Avoid that. It makes people (and cops) more likely to act like assholes, doesn't it?
