A federal judge this week issued a blistering ruling in favor of a Trumbull County commissioner who was arrested after criticizing the sheriff.

"Here in America, we do not arrest our political opponents," Judge Philip Calabrese wrote in an order filed Wednesday.

Calabrese wrote that the sheriff, the deputies and the other two commissioners violated Republican Commissioner Niki Frenchko's First Amendment rights. Sheriff Paul Monroe, Commissioner Frank Fuda and Commissioner Mauro Cantalamessa are all Democrats. The judge, who was nominated by former president Donald Trump, also found the defendants do not have qualified immunity in this case, meaning they can be sued for monetary damages.

"I was compelled to file this suit because if public officials can use their offices and power to silence me, they can do it to anyone,” Frenchko said in a news release. "This is a tremendous day for freedom of speech, the rule of law, and democracy."

It takes a special kind of public official to do something so egregious to violate the broad protections of qualified immunity.

I think he meant to say "we should not arrest our political opponents" since dems obviously do arrest our political opponents.

Anyway.....Good, do the DOJ next.
 
Judge Philip Calabrese belongs on the Supreme Court.
Yet Joey Baidung and his coconspirators in the White House are doing all they can to do the very thing...
 
Idiots this has nothing to do with Trump. It certainly appears to be police and political over reach and abuse of power and I hope she wins her lawsuits against these dipshit Democrats but none of this is going to help Trump. He's an actual criminal.

Wrong!! It has everything to do with how this administration has weaponized the law against those that have opposing political ideals.
This is found only in Marxist Socialist totalitarian societies. It should not be practiced in America.
Unfortunately, we see it being practiced here with the two-tiered system of justice practiced by this DSA Democrat CPUSA led Party.

This story isn't about the Administration, it's about some local yocals in Ohio.

Dipshit, you can't only praise the law when you win. That only reveals your dishonesty.

Except in the cases you win right, then justice is acting as its supposed to.... :lmao:

We didn't change the voting threshold for executive and judicial confirmations either, but the Democrats decided to change the precedents and do that too. And look how it came back to bite them on the ass.

I'm just sayin'

Aux Contraire: It starts at the head of the rotten fish and filters down to cities and towns run by Democrats.

If one is a political opponent and they break the law, they should be arrested.
Based on your logic a criminal should file and run for office. Everytime he commits a crime and they try to arrest him, he says it is my political opponent trying to prevent me from running.

Did Trump commit his crimes because of his political opponents?
Don't matter.
Shooting someone on 5th avenue is still a crime.
The law says nothing about Republicans or Democrats.
Trump planned and incited an insurrection.
Trump conspired to overturn the election using false electors.
Trump lied about and refused to return highly classified information

None of his crimes are about Democrats or Republicans but ALL of his crimes are about Donald Trump violating the law trying to grab power for the sole benefit of Donald Trump.

If you were brave enough to take off those MAGA blinders it would be clear even to you.

Thus event is typical of today's democrat party.
