I haven't seen anything in the Bill of Rights about nailing things up on public property. > interpreting the bill of rights there is a meaningful distinction between public and private property that you are apparently unaware of. That's because that distinction is not, as far as I know, actually in the Bill of Rights.

> That's because that distinction is not, as far as I know, actually in the Bill of Rights. It's a distinction made in the case law, even by strict textualists like Justice Scalia. It's not a weakness of the document that it doesn't spell everything out for you.
