Nope, you don't, and you don't understand the American constitution if you think what Lemon did was right. It was not.

What part of the Constitution did a private citizen violate?

What part of the Constitution is Trump and his goons violating?

This is about Lemon, so don't you dare whataboutism with Trump.

Busting into a private building, particularly a church service, with the avowed purpose to disrupt it is a crime and you know it.

You and the others, with whom I generally agree, are letting your emotions run away with you. Law governs, not emotions.

Law governs. The Bill of Rights governs. Which is why this case will be tossed. I'm thinking before the end of this month.

It's not emotional to point out that Trump is violating the Constitution and abusing his powers as President.

The arrest of Don Lemon is blatant censorship. And he is not the only one | Seth Stern

Thursday’s arrests of Lemon and independent journalist Georgia Fort demonstrate the administration’s lawless crusade against routine journalism
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com



Two federal courts reviewed the government’s evidence against journalist Don Lemon and declined to approve his arrest last week. But nevertheless, the attorney general, Pam Bondi, persisted, desperate to please her authoritarian boss no matter what the constitution and law say or what her ethical obligations as an attorney require.

Obama judges dismissed earlier warrants. AG Bondi took it to federal grand jury and got 9 indictments against the terrorist cell that hit Calvary Bible Church.

There were 8 terrorists involved, meaning the 9th indictment is probably a conspiracy charge.

So when will you start killing the judges for be associated with Obama?

The two federal laws under which Lemon and Fort are reportedly charged are entirely inapplicable. One punishes conspiracies to stop people from exercising constitutional rights. The journalists, of course, didn’t conspire with anyone to do anything nefarious. They simply documented news. It’s ironic that Lemon and Fort are accused of exactly what the Trump administration actually did – intimidating those who exercise core constitutional freedoms, like documenting news. In fact the very next section of the criminal code prohibits deprivation of constitutional rights “under color of law”, ie, by the government. Maybe the officials involved in Lemon and Fort’s arrests should think about lawyering up.

The other law being wielded against the journalists similarly requires an intent to interfere with religious worship (or access to reproductive health clinics), not the lawful documentation of news events by journalists who neither plan protests nor participate in them. Journalists follow the news – they don’t decide where it happens. Protesters in Minneapolis chose to demonstrate at the church because the pastor was a higher-up with ICE – one of the federal agencies terrorizing their city and murdering their neighbors – not because some journalists told them to.
