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.

Disbar her then!
Maybe she would hold court in a courtyard get out of the way
That;s just plain asinine considering the Constitution is the basis of all of our laws. Does she run a kangaroo court and does not want to be reminded of that little fact?
Fire,deport
Kick her off the bench, now!

No judge has a right to interfere with anyone”s first amendment rights in such a way. Should recuse herself for being biased.
