A couple arrested at a rally after refusing to cover T-shirts that bore anti-President Bush slogans settled their lawsuit against the federal government for $80,000, the American Civil Liberties Union announced Thursday.They don't have to admit anything ... Just pay up.
Nicole and Jeffery Rank of Corpus Christi, Texas, were handcuffed and removed from the July 4, 2004, rally at the state Capitol, where Bush gave a speech. A judge dismissed trespassing charges against them, and an order closing the case was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Charleston.
[...]White House spokesman Blair Jones said the settlement was not an admission of wrongdoing.
When you attend a rally on public property even the most un-Constitutional regime in history cannot suspend a person's constitutional rights.
This happened over and over again in 2004 by Bush and his minions and what did Republicans do or say about it? Absolutely nothing. They all went along just like the America-hating sheople they are.
