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.

I hope Ohio is properly ashamed of this judge!
No law, no court, no charges, no problem.
Throw the POS judge out !!!
Yes! That is what the Left wants; to make up “law” to suit their own ideology! They like to say how the Constitution is a “Living Document”. subject to being altered to suit current conditions! If that were the case with the founders, why would they have even bothered to put something down on paper! They could have said “let’s just make this up as we go along! I wonder what kind of He77 the Left would raise if we tried to reinterpret Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation to mean that slaves were freed ONLY until the War was over and the South rejoined to the Union!
Tje Judge is denying First Amendment
She wouldn’t stop me from mentioning the constitution. We may need to end up in another court.
