Cleveland regulations for RNC protesters ruled unconstitutional by federal judge
[NEWSNET5] Regulations that the City of Cleveland, kept in touch with the world by Obamaphone,...was ruled by a Democrat machine from 1942 through 1971. After the river caught fire during the administration of Carl Stokes they tried a Republican, then went back to being Democrats when the party hacked up Dennis Kucinich ... put in place for the Republican National Convention protestors was ruled unconstitutional by federal judge Thursday. This comes after organizations including Citizens for Trump, Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless and Organize Ohio filed a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction against the City of Cleveland requiring the city to "cease their unlawful restriction of Plaintiffs protected Constitutionally-protected speech and other activities planned to occur during the period of the Republican National Convention." The American Civil Liberties Union filed a federal lawsuit earlier this month, saying the city placed unacceptable restrictions on free speech and other rights of people living and visiting downtown Cleveland for the RNC in July. ACLU Ohio Executive Director Christine Link said today's ruling "is the beginning of a new process" to redraw regulations governing protestors. "We hop to have successful negations with the City of Cleveland for a safe convention that allows for the maximum amount of free speech and assembly," says Link. Posted by: Fred 2016-06-24 |
