Apparently Dearborn/Wayne County Michigan Has Seceded From the Union

Otherwise how do you explain the fact that a Michigan judge has ruled that even talking about exercising your 1st amendment right to protest is a criminal offense?

OK, before I go any further, I have to state that I did not agree with Terry Jones burning of a Koran, although it was his free speech right to. But to say that because someone doesn't like the message you have & that someone might react violently takes away your right to free speech is WRONG, plain & simple.

I can't say this surprizes me though. This is the same Dearborn area that calls street evangeliziation "disturbing the peace" if it might offend a Muslim. (Memo to City of Dearborn: There Is This Little Something Called the 1st Amendment) The city is already facing 1 lawsuit from that incident. That one was filed by the Thomas More Law Center who is also involved in this case.. & now it may face another. Again, while I may not like Jones methods, what he is doing is still protected under the Constitution of the United States. & unless Dearborn has seceded, it still is a part of the USA & subject to the Constitution. I hope he does sue & wins big.

Sharia in Michigan


In an alarming leap forward into dhimmitude, Terry Jones of Koran-burning fame was actually thrown in jail in Michigan for planning a protest against radical Islam.
Florida pastor Terry Jones … said he plans to file a lawsuit against the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office and other government offices in connection with his arrest Friday following a jury trial that found he was likely to create a "breach of the peace" for plans to protest outside the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn. …
The controversial Quran-burning pastor said he is working with the Ann Arbor-based Thomas More Law Center because "we were arrested for something we had not done."
Jones' case is unique, said Richard Thompson, the center's president and chief counsel. "There are legal experts and commentators from all sides of the political spectrum who agree that what happened to Pastor Jones was a violation of the First Amendment."
Constitutional law expert Robert Sedler said he is glad Jones is challenging the "bizarre" ruling by 19th District Judge Mark Somers requiring Jones to post a "peace bond," jailing him for refusing and ordering him to stay away from the mosque for three years — all before Jones held the demonstration.
"The Supreme Court says you cannot deny a permit because of the message," said Sedler, a Wayne State University Law School professor. "The U.S. Constitution supersedes everything, which is why this is so bizarre."
Jones says he has no intention of burning any Korans:
"We are not here demonstrating against the Koran, against their faith, against their rights, we are demonstrating against that radical element."
But apparently expressing disapproval of the ideology responsible for killing 3,000 Americans on 9/11 is not permitted in Michigan, although technically it is still part of America.
The prosecution reasoned that Jones might say something that would anger hair trigger Muslim maniacs on the other side of the world. Due to the complete absence of moral courage among our leadership, savages in Afghanistan now have veto power over our Constitution.
