We read:
"A constitutional law professor says a trial and the brief jailing of two Florida pastors who wanted to demonstrate outside a Michigan mosque is "bizarre."
Florida pastors Terry Jones and Wayne Sapp were briefly jailed Friday in Dearborn after refusing to pay a $1 peace bond following a trial that found they would breach the peace if allowed to hold a rally outside the Islamic Center of America, the Detroit Free Press reported Saturday.
"The judge should have thrown out the case," said Robert Sedler, constitutional law professor at Wayne State University.
Sedler said the entire process was "bizarre" and that "the whole thing is unconstitutional." He cited U.S. Supreme Court cases backing up Jones' right to protest. The Michigan ACLU also criticized the case.
"This is a complete abuse of the court process, and all those involved should be ashamed," said Rana Elmir of the ACLU Michigan office. "The prosecutor's office and the Dearborn court turned the First Amendment on its head.

The pastor now says he might sue the city. He will almost certainly win if he does.

Funny, protest at a soldier’s funeral. Protest children that were burned alive and you good to go.
Protest Muslims and the government descends apron you with the full force of law.
Anybody else noticing a double standard here?
Just who was presumed to be violent - the protestors or the anti-protestors?
Well, this is what happens when the brain-dead American people elect a Muslim to the WH. The word filters down that Muslims are now "protected".
It's pretty obvious that the Pastors have themselves one hell of a law suit. (violation of First Amendment, unlawful imprisonment, false arrest, and "inventing" laws) Also, if they can find a rational person in FloriDUH, they should get rid of any judge who thinks there's something in law called a "peace bond".
Thank you sir. I stand corrected.
