Arizona GOP lawmakers vote to shush 'disruptive' protesters at Capitol

Protesters at the state Capitol are going to face new restrictions, beginning immediately.

On a party-line vote, members of a special legislative panel voted late Thursday to ban bullhorns by those marching in the space between the House and Senate.

... All-night vigils, overnight protests or the kind of "Occupy" movements that have sprung up around the country are banned. The rules allow the Department of Public Safety to remove protesters at 10 p.m.

... The changes drew protests of a different kind from the Democrats on the Republican-dominated Legislative Council, the committee of lawmakers empowered to set rules for the Capitol grounds.
