3. K&R

Amy Goodman is one of the best journalists out there.

4. Wonderful news

Really beginning to look like judges are wide awake these days.

I hope that the longer it takes for the appointment of the 9th judge of their highest court, the sooner judges wake up right across America.

The Constitution will be obeyed.

5. K&R nt

[gademocrat7]

6. K&R!

[marybourg]

7. Yeah. Thats why the rabid right

has been setting up their own law schools.

[Nay]

37. Exactly. And their own biological sciences dept., etc.

[chillfactor]

8. Fantastic news!!!!!!!!!

for the judge!

[Achilleaze]

10. Damn straight. He better have rejected the charges.

Or we would know that democracy had been totally absolutely 100% shitcanned in deference to Corporate Planetary Plundering & Profiteering, Inc. (R)

[lonestarnot]

11. Figured that was going to happen. That's why I didn't get too excited.

[heaven05]

12. excellent

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

13. Very glad to hear that.

Every now and then justice is served.

[malthaussen]

14. This is the way the dance goes.

The government proposes, and the judge disposes. Since the voters don't seem to be capable of disposing of the government themselves.

But what about the felony conspiracy charges against Deia Schlosberg? She may not have as high a profile as Amy Goodman, but the injustice is no less.

[Gorgatron]

49. Yeah I heard she could be looking at 45 years potentially... Absurd

Hopefully she will get the charges dropped as well

[Coyotl]

15. As expected, meanwhile Republican States Attorney gains political popularity with rednecks.

I'm sure this dude is just polishing his political apple, justice be damned.

[old guy]

20. Thread winner!

[TeamPooka]

22. yup. "I hate the Constitution so I should be a GOP rising star."

[klook]

17. Fantastic news!

I'm still gonna send a donation to DN, though. The work that Amy Goodman, Juan Gonzalez, and crew do is outstanding.

[ghostsinthemachine]

18. Great news BUT

Since her warrant and absence, little if any, reports have been coming from the site. The internet has been cut, roads blocked, nobody in or out etc. So they still win.

[Sunny05]

43. Yep, sicced on jst 5 praying protesters.

Our (U.S.) worst fears of trump as pres -- already being lived by Standing Rock Sioux as they deal w/ local polce, maybe state police?, and private guards.

[Sunny05]

42. Yes, Standing Rock Sioux need help.

This is unbelievable.

[Gothmog]

[joeybee12]

21. Great news...talk about an abuse of power by that worthless prosecutor...knr

[LisaM]

26. This is fantastic news, are they still going to charge the brothers and sisters ?

Still nothing in the so called media, they put it on the Chyron, big deal.

Now what is the governor and his oil company lackeys going to do. What is the prosecutor going to do, harassment is harassment.
Where is federal senators and congressional people on this issue, haven't heard one peep from them.

27. She was innocent from the start, and

doing her job as a citizen. She was opposed because she is wicked smart, has genuine dignity, and thus represented a serious threat to those promoting a bad idea.

Wonderful news.

[red dog 1]

28. K&R!

[0ccy01]

29. Thank you Jebus!

Sanity prevails!

[locks]

30. Great news. The whole nation owes Amy,

all the protesters, some of the media like Lawrence O'Donnell, and all the Native Americans a huge thank you for their effort to save these sacred sites.

[Sunny05]

44. Relieved for Amy Goodman,

for sure, and the Constitution. But Standing Rock Sioux still screwed.

32. 1st Amendment Free Press wins! nt

[Lint Head]

33. Excellent!

[lindysalsagal]

34. Well, HELLO. 1st amendment.

I heard her talking on the news in the car today. It's getting covered. Wow. Imagine that. Real news.

When they get video of her picking up a bazooka, then they can accuse her of violence.

[malaise]

45. Cliven Bundy

Bundy Grazed his cattle on Federal Land For Years Saying it was his Right.
He Had gotten better treatment and the people who supported him leveling rifles at Federal officers.
Had not Gotten a fine or Felony Charges against them.
So How the Hell Can A reporter get Charged with Felony's for pointing a camera?
Why Does the Native Americans get thrown in Jail for peaceful protesting for preserving their
Water?

[Sunlei]

47. The law both local and federal always target the journalists first. They outright arrest them or

or block their view of what they want to report on. Or even have the local law prevent them from attending event they want to report on.

[Sunlei]

46. How about all the other people attacked by dogs hired by the Corp? they got charged too.

[kevink077]

48. They will keep trying

This evil prosecuter wants to get her badly. He will keep throwing charges at her.
