She had the *audacity* to ask, âWhatâs your red line? When will you defend the Constitution you swore to uphold?â One question & sheâs accosted.
Free speech?
Not under Lawler.

(12,189 posts)She IS suing. ACLU is representing her. And she will win, because the thugs who drug her out weren't legit and more importantly because they hurt her. Then add in her right to free speech. I'm sure DU will keep up with her case. She'll win, ok.

Not the slightest hint of awareness. It's as if these "security agents" were pre sworn to these kinds of acts as a condition of employment.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
