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.

Then impeach this judge the constitution is law of the land!
Is this a Twilight Zone episode? It had better be. Because this is a sad slap in the face. Gets only worse.
Agreed
MORON ALERT
Any judge in this country that refusrs mention or reference to the Constitution in their courtroom should not be a judge. As for saying that mentioning the Constitution would confuse a jury…what an arrogant$#%&!@*
But the US Constitution is THE law of this nation. That ‘judge’ should be nabbed from courtroom.
She should be removed from the bench.
Sounds like Xenia needs to be destroyed by a tornado again
Thought they had to swear to uphold the Constitution. She should immediately be disqualified with no pension.
That court house sets on American soil.. judge is wacko
