Sheehan looking for constitutional lawyer's help. Any takers? |
|
"The fine for "demonstrating without a permit" is $75.00. I am certain that I won't pay it. My court date is November 16th. Any lawyers out there want to help me challenge an unconstitutional law?" http://www.buzzflash.com/contributors/05/09/con05360.html

I never knew you could get arrested for preotesting outside the WH for not having a permit.

3. Maybe you"re right, but... |

...what do I know? I'm Canadian.
I just thought that thing in the Constitution about assembling peaceably sort of trumped everything else.

4. The ACLU should be front and center here. |
|
I'd be surprised if she hasn't already been contacted.
