1. This is SO unconstitutional ..

this J.D. (law degree) is just hoping there's a suit, so that I can contribute to the legal fund.

I could blather on about ConLaw, but I'll spare everyone the torture (of hearing my percepton of it).

This is content-based, and there is no compelling governmental interest here.

Now, as to the criminal charge, I'm guessing it will be dropped faster than you can spit, for they don't want this one seeing the light of day.

On edit:

Look what just popped up:

They didn't want this one to see the light of day - and pursuing it civilly doesn't seem like a practical option.

This is the dirty little technique they employ ... too bad we don't have media with a spine.

2. is there any way she can still bring a lawsuit like she was talking

about? even tho they dropped the charges?

[Maat]

5. Yes, hopefully ..

she'll huddle with some very smart constitutional lawyers, and sue civilly.
