Personally, Sally does not have a defense under the First Amendment. This is similar to Roulette v. City of Seattle. Sally has the right to her freedom of expression, but that does not include her sitting or lying. Sally was blocking an area of the sidewalk that is considered a commercial area between 7:00 A.M.-9:00 P.M. and that is not permitted. This statute makes it where access to buildings are easier therefore blocking it creates congestion and it interferes with the access to it. Sally was interfering with the access to the building when she was sitting and therefore she broke the law. Sally had the right to hand out the leaflets and be there as long as she was not obstructing the access to any buildings.
