Don Lemon has been released without bail after appearing in a Los Angeles court Friday on federal charges relating to his coverage of anti-ICE protests at a church in Minneapolis earlier this month.The 59 year-old newsman - sporting a white suit and cream sweater - is accused of conspiracy and interfering with the First Amendment rights of worshipers.During his 20 minute appearance Lemon didn't enter a formal plea but his lawyer Marilyn Bednarski told the court that he was pleading not guilty.[snip] Judge Donahue rejected federal prosecutors' request for $100,000 bail and released Lemon on his own recognizance.

Nobody is trying to silence you, you rotten, obnoxious horse's hind end!
But there is a LAW against you silencing people in THEIR church by loud, rude, obnoxious interference on private property.
Be as loud as you want "in the public square"....but not in someone's church during a church service.
I hope this disgusting, obnoxious pervert goes to prison. He'd be popular there.

Limits on the 1st Amendment deal with time, place, and manner.
If Lemon wanted to interview the pastor he could have made an appointment with him outside of the time that the pastor was conducting a worship service. Freedom of the press does not give a journalist unlimited license to disturb other people, violate their rights, or to trespass. Lemon and Minnesota politicians who support him should ask themselves how they would react if prayer services in a Mosque were to be disrupted by protestors. We already know how democrats demand jail time for anyone who disrupts their precious abortion clinics.

The only reason he's being silenced is that nobody is listening.

I learned as a kid ( in bygone days of school civics classes), that ones rights end where they impede on another’s rights. This self important puke needs some lessons, and hopefully they’ll be taught in a prison yard.

It's hard to silence a loudmouth who has to be the center of attention.

Nobody's silencing you, Don; but you do need to stop thinking everybody needs to hear what you think, and shut yourself up for once.

Besides, people in church want to hear what God says. And despite your high opinion of yourself, you are not He.

"relating to his coverage of anti-ICE protests"
