Gutting it how exactly? The pleading just lays out what the law says and what the terms mean. There is no gutting at all. Some people just want the law to apply to acts the law does not apply to, simply because they were charged with that law and they want the protestors punished somehow, so...

Another filing today which I mention just for bookkeeping. All defendants had signed onto motions to disclose grand jury proceedings, except for Amelia Hansa and Michael Beute. Hansa just joined that last motion filed by 33 defendants. Docket entry: MOTION Join Petition of Codefendants to...

I will likely be quoting this motion liberally in the future. Below is the section on the KKK Act. bbm https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/72212459/491/united-states-v-levy-armstrong/ b. 18 U.S.C. § 241 (The federal criminal civil rights conspiracy statute) Section 241 prohibits conspiracies...

I LOVE LOVE this motion because it gives great background on the laws charged. Below is the section on the Face Act. It says things that have been pointed out here already but in much better detail. The information about the term "threat" is very helpful. bbm...

Today another motion for disclosure of grand jury proceedings was filed. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/72212459/491/united-states-v-levy-armstrong/ That's a joint pleading by 33 of the defendants. Fort and Lemon previously filed their joint motion and Shane Bollman filed his own...

Nate has an interview with Gabler too airing tonight.

Please cite any evidence that proves any of this. A "feeling" does not make a "clearly" met element. This is based on what exactly? You can't cite prior cases because this is the first prosecution of its kind. In fact, prior prosecutions of the Face Act for the abortion clinic clause show...

We have enough evidence to know that there are allegations in the indictment that are flat out false. Examples have been cited several times. For example, once AGAIN, from the indictment, bbm There is no super secret evidence or camera angle that is going to show that allegation is true. See...

I doubt the case was brought only because of Bondi. The whole DOJ leadership seems to be supportive. All the politically appointed leaders are for it, but the rank and file not so much. None of the career prosecutors from the charging division are involved in this case. The entire civil rights...

Simply interrupting a service is not a federal violation. Yes, that law has been cited many times. I will quote it once again here. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/248 The law prohibits anyone who: “by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction, intentionally injures...

That’s good because, like in the Lemon case, the church interference charge doesn’t fit. The state charge here was interference with religious observance. https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/2019/cite/609.28 Very similar to the Face Act, the violation requires threats or use of force or...

Dr G Explains has a couple of good body language videos on the testimony.

This clip of the part where Garner questions GK on DARVO is fantastic. He's so flummoxed!
