The long and winding road of Don Lemon's arrest came to an end in Los Angeles overnight. It started at Cities Church in the Twin Cities and wended through three different court venues. The end of the road came at the Grammy Awards, which Lemon apparently had been covering for his YouTube channel.
What a long, strange trip it's been, indeed:
The former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested late Thursday night on charges that he violated federal law during a protest at a church in St. Paul, Minn., his lawyer said, in a case rejected last week by a magistrate judge.
Mr. Lemon has said he was simply reporting as a journalist when he entered the Cities Church on Jan. 18 to observe a demonstration against the immigration crackdown in the area.
The protesters interrupted a service at the church, where an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official serves as a pastor, and chanted “ICE out.” Afterward, the Trump administration sought to charge eight people over the episode, including Mr. Lemon, citing a law that protects people seeking to participate in a service in a house of worship.

J6 wasn't a constitutionally protected church service.
Lemon’s always been on a mission to destroy journalism from the inside.
I don’t believe the FACE act has ever been before SCOTUS.
No, it's the meatloaf he's looking forward to.
Nothing will happen to Lemon, he’s the right color and the system will be manipulated so he’ll get a sympathetic Obama/Biden judge.
A correction to my first reply. The SCOTUS has refused to hear challenges to the law. But that was in 1996 (?). The main courts that upheld it based that opinion on the commerce clause.
Please note “anti-choice” is not the word I would use.
“Six Wisconsin anti-choice protestors, who had been arrested in September 1994 after participating in a blockade of a Milwaukee women’s health facility, had successfully petitioned the US District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin to dismiss criminal charges based on FACE. While the district court held that Congress had no authority under the Commerce Clause or under the Fourteenth Amendment of the US Constitution to enact FACE, the appellate panel found that the lower court had not given sufficient consideration to congressional findings that the activities restricted by FACE substantially affect interstate commerce and are subject to the regulatory power of Congress.”

Watch the Left now argue that the FACE Act is unconstitutional.

“he’s the right color”
and a pervert as well.
The odds of him getting a judge who hates whites and/or loves perverts is well over fifty per cent.
Problem is if he wins this case then any so called ‘journalist’ (I’m thinking mainly leftists) can follow suit and take place storming religious services claiming they are journalists. Any mob can do it with an invited journalist to head up the pack.

Well, I was happy he was arrested.
