According to the US Constitution, we have the right to peacefully assemble and protest:
First Amendment
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
However, sometimes when we try to assert that right, a US Senator will call us "low-life scum":

And so also did the Republic of Rome slide into empire and then disaster.
I think the next time the US Senate wants us to go to war, we should give John McCain a gun and send him off to fight it for us.
And by the way, there is ample evidence to suggest that both Kissinger and McCain may in fact be war criminals, so it's not that surprising that they are protecting each other from justice.
Update: Here is Medea Benjamin's take on what happened:
