sheilanagig: Huzzah! There might be some greyer, wiser heads left in the world. Thank goodness somebody caught it before the feds had to come in with the National Guard to protect the constitutional rights of the protesters.

Yeah, that's just what was about to happen

A tryst beneath a magnolia tree? Has a certain lyrical quality. I mean, who doesn't want a tryst beneath a magnolia tree?

The only parts of the constitution that are important are the ones about keeping guns and being able to sing on Monday Night Football.

I'm sure there's a lot of lawyers willing to help those people out.

Weaver95: GAT_00:

But yeah, there's got to be plenty of anger there from the governor's office.

yeah, but aside from the Gov being mad as hell, there's not much he can do about it. he's gotta let the protests continue.

The Gov is mad, bro?

vartian: The suit says Haslam approved the new curfew after complaints over three misdemeanor violations around Legislative Plaza: "an assault, public urination and an apparent tryst beneath a magnolia tree."

Hopefully, not all from the same guy.

Gordie Howe hat trick?

Farking Constitution....how does it work?

If it is....AWESOME! A new hero emerges.

Good to see the Virginia Tea Party was right about the goovernment giving preferential treatment to OWS. I guess lazy hippies get all the breaks.

It's really sad to see that, while most people engaged in these protests are ignorant of so many facts, the police and those others who decry these protests are putting new bounds on ignorance.

You don't "agree" to follow an order from a federal judge. You follow the order or risk the consequences.

Well, you have a score, an assault.....I suppose it could be a Gordie Howe hat trick if the public urination was a golden shower on a fornicating couple (i.e. an assist).

/Judges?

Answer: my bunk

I'm game.

Devaney's statement reads, "Legislative Plaza is the property of all Tennesseans, not just a small group of loiterers who would've served their cause better by simply occupying a restroom, instead of showing utter disregard for public property."

Classy fella. Smart, too.

Republicans, you elected this person. You selected him to represent you in the election and then voted for him. This is why people make fun of you.

Look. EVERYONE knows there are only 2 amendments to the Constitution: the 2nd and the 10th.

It's like Bible quotations...

"DON'T VIOLATE THE FIRST AMENDMENT! Oh, these people are talking about something I disagree with? Crush 'em like bugs, then."

They seem to know what's wrong with this country better than the people who are supposed to know about such things..

sheilanagig: Texas might end up with a lot of explaining to do to the federal authorities if they keep it up.

I don't think that Texans worry about what all those socialists lead by that Kenyan Muslim "Nobama" have to say, they know that real 'murricans don't put up with that namby-pamby lazy communist "protesting" (they know that if they were real 'murricans they'd pull themselves up by their bootstraps and go out and get jobs and work 60 hour workweeks for minimum wage and be grateful for it!), they obey their Republican masters just like Baby Jeebus wants them to.

I worry about Texas sometimes.

Hey as long as teh protesters are not destroying public property or causing a rukus they can stay as long as they want.

Curfews are a crime in the first place. Either the curfew has to apply to everyone in the area at the same time(as in: arresting tourists too) or it's time to bust some politicians and cops heads for the crime of discrimination.

/So that simple minded republicans can understand this: A curfew that is only for kids, is a crime, as the curfew was unjustly put on all kids, for the crime of one kid.
//Either the cops can bust actual crimes, or the cops can be put in jail for abusing people in the name of the all mighty retard in charge.

Having the making of a federal court order is very powerful. Next time there are arrests the standard for the police to show cause will be higher, and you know the ACLU will be watching. A finding of contempt can land the police in hot water and give the protesters power of discovery to see who ordered the arrests and to look for undue influences.

We still have that?

Could you describe the ruckus?
Especially anything that happened beneath a magnolia tree.

For your information, the Supreme Court has roundly rejected prior restraint. (new window)

Well then... I hope Wu-Tang doesn't join OWS; cause da ruckus will certainly be broughten.
