In a recent pre-trial hearing in Xenia, Ohio, a judge agreed with a prosecutor’s motion to prohibit the defendant from mentioning the Constitution or the constitutionality of the law he was charged with violating.
Judge Catherine Barber stated “there will be no mentioning of the Constitution” to the defendant, Virgil Vaduva.
The prosecutor made the claim that mentioning the Constitution “will confuse the jury,” to which Vaduva replied that uttering words on a public sidewalk, his panhandling charge, constitutes free speech.

That’s against the constitution
She needs to be removed from the bench
It put you in there
It is the DA job to disprove his constitutional rights and show he is guilty of breaking city code laws. I would mention the constitution 100 times and if she took action I would have the judge brought up on civil rights violation
She needs to be removed from her office as a Judge. How dare she turn her back on this country!
its time she be removed from office, because i thik she just broke her oath of the office.
GETA ROPE !!!!
And why is she still in office?
Remove her from the bench, should not be seated in Anerica!
then why do we need any judges? if they don’t want to follow the constitution why should anyone else
