Now I'm advancing. Yes! The media can only report what God King Trump wants reported, the way he wants it reported. That's what the founders wanted. It's in the Constitution.

His defense lawyer wants to claim First Amendment protection...
...but the problem is they have him on video conspiring to rob others of their First Amendment rights.
Bye, Don! Don't drop the soap, buddy!

Yes, indeed. Remember how the MAGA crowd cheered, when God On Earth Trump said he would put journalists in prison, where they would be raped? Brutality and violence for anyone who opposes Trump the Magnificent and Perfect is the message.

Dope1,
I guess what the Leftists are advocating is that it would be perfectly ok with them, should some white Christo-Fascist nationalist MAGA Nazis barged into a historically Black Baptist church in the midst of services and singing hymns, and then the Nazis exercised their free speech rights by disrupting the service, and shouting at the parishoners that they should emigrate to Liberia.
That would be perfectly fine with the Leftists.
It wouldn't be fine with you, me, or any sane person.
But it's all perfectly fine with them, I gess.

Since he's practicing 1st Amndmt rights and in the hierarchy you place the Face Act and any worship rights above the free press, or do you admit there's a tension between the two that would be an interesting tussle.

Trump the Magnificent and Perfect is the message.
You can't storm churches and interrupt their First Amendment Rights in a Maoist crusade to yell SHAME at somebody you think is an ICE agent.
There are specific federal statutes around that and Don Lemon conspired with others to do what he did.
He thought that his Journalisming Deflector Shield would protect him from enabling a group of people to terrorize some little kids and their moms (and block parents from getting to their kids).
Had they been at a Mosque or a Synagogue that might have gone horribly wrong.
So Don is headed for Consequenceville.

Your First Amendment Rights are honored right up to the point where you rob someone else of theirs. Then it's NOPE, you can't do that. liberals always assume they have a superior form of Civil Rights that allows THEM to deprive others of THEIR rights of speech or freedom of movement.
Guess what? You don't.
There's no debate here on what they intended to do and what they did.

Right.
The original complaint against Don Lemon from the department of justice was rejected by a magistrate judge, Douglas Micko, who refused to sign the criminal complaint, and then the department of justice appealed and that too was rejected.
They finally got it in front of a former Scalia clerk and George W. Bush appointee who said, "He's Black, right?" and, hey, three times was the charm.
Kidding, it was just a coincidence that the department of justice invoked a federal felony statute from the Reconstruction Era, designed to safeguard the rights of Black Americans to do things like worship and vote amid terror and violence from the Ku Klux Klan.

Not me. I have an interest to see how it turns out, how the legal questions are treated by the judge. I haven't seen the video on Lemon, but I'd like to jump to the summary of the decision in the case. Might be good reading. There are questions I can't resolve late at night and that intrigues me. I can't spend too much time on it now. I don't think you have a good grasp of the tensions that are there.
