Strip Searched Teachers Sue Over Arrest at Bush Campaign Rally
29 April 2005

This is outrageous!

On September 3, 2004, two female teachers, both in their 50's were arrested at a Bush campaign and subsequently STRIP-SEARCHED at the local county jail.

Two teachers arrested at a 2004 campaign rally for President Bush and strip-searched at a county jail have filed a lawsuit alleging law officers conspired to violate their constitutional rights.

Alice McCabe and Christine Nelson, both in their 50s, were among five protesters arrested at the Sept. 3 rally. The pair were handcuffed, taken to the county jail, strip-searched and charged with criminal trespass. The charges were dropped months later.

"I believe the federal government behaved very badly in this situation," said David O'Brien, the women's attorney.

3. Zombies, sleepwalking zombies...

oblivious to the glaring evidence that civil liberty has evaporated. Bless these teachers for taking a stand. And I liked what Cuomo said today on the radio, that there is a tyranny of the majority. And the ruling majority represent fewer people than the democrats do. WAKE UP SHEEPLE! (ala Marc Maron).

4. I can hear Limbaugh now talking about two teachers and their

frivolous lawsuit..
