You’re a trooper, but I doubt that @SeverelyLtd has any interest in actually engaging you on substance here.

Have a hug instead!

My apologies for not piping up on this story, work for me this week has been long and shitty and I haven’t had much time to read stories here, much less post messages. I got the ‘hey someone mentioned you’ notice, so here I am, here is my two cents:

Throwing some one in jail for a non violent political protest is absolutely wrong. Some one might convince me that there is some extreme case where it could be justified, but so far I’ve seen nothing in this discussion to make me think jail time is warranted in this case at all.

This is a very bad comparison, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights includes rights to a fair trial, events in a court room that could impact that fairness of a trial could also be a civil rights violation. So what happens when two constitutional rights are in conflict? I would hope the courts would make a compromise that results in the least impact possible to both rights. My understanding is that in most cases silent protests are sometimes allowed in the court room and other protests are allowed outside the court house, trading the minor restriction on speech for the more significant gain to the right to a fair trial.

Laughter is what they fear most. They feed on your rage and your tears, but your laughter breaks their teeth.

She said that she expected to be escorted out. She did NOT expect to be arrested, nor should she have been. Technically she did not break any laws.

Yeah, I guess HE and Sessions think they can violate or break any laws they feel like breaking. (See: Threatening a Federal Witness, Emoluments Clause, etc). But everyone else better stick to the letter of the law. Pardon me while I puke.
