I guess that makes sense because otherwise, they could have lobbyists constantly demonstrating inside there. Kind of like not being able to campaign within so many feet of a voting booth.

Years ago, some Puerto Rican demonstrators shot up the House from the gallery. I think they wanted PR to regress from Territory status (where they get everything, pay nothing) to Statehood.
And don't forget Kerry's response:
"The Drudge Report also notes that Kerry claimed "53 percent of our children don't graduate from high school." In fact, according to the Census Bureau, 85.9% of 20- to 24-year-olds are high school graduates. In June 2004, while campaigning for president, Kerry did something similar, with a racial edge: He falsely stated that more black Americans were in prison than in college."
