‘Vindicating’: County commissioner’s arrest violated her constitutional rights, judge rules

Quote

 “This case tests that longstanding norm as well as our Constitution’s robust protections for free speech that allow us to criticize our representatives and public officials. Plaintiff Niki Frenchko won election to the three-member Board of County Commissioners of Trumbull County, Ohio. She was an outsider, and the only member of County government from her political party. As a public official, she used her position to needle the incumbents and, in her view, hold them accountable for their decisions. For their part, they viewed her as ignorant of the basic workings of county government and a nuisance, to put it mildly.”

My first thought was, "Ohio?  Republican's did this?".  I honestly was shocked.  Then I read the article and realized that I wasn't shocked at all.

Trumbull County is pretty much the epicenter of organized crime in Ohio.  Sadly, it’s bipartisan.

I wonder what Country he lives in.   It is becoming standard practice in the banana Republic of the US.

At least one judge appears to remember what our values are.
