Now I am not a lawyer but this does not seem fair on any level. It is like a football game that ended in a tie at half time so the officials have ruled that the leading passer and receiver of the team they did not want to win cannot play in the second half.

What facts are not permissible due to the ruling of Judge Navarro? She has ruled that the defense attorneys cannot argue that their clients were legally exercising their first and second amendment rights. There can be no testimony about federal agent’s actions leading up to the standoff. Further, they cannot mention the illegal arrest of David Bundy while he was standing on a state highway filming the round up – an action that amounted to kidnapping and oppression under color of the law. There can be no mention of the BLM attack on a 60-year old grandmother as a case of excessive force. In fact, no mention can be made about excessive force with unwarranted use of stun guns and attack dogs. The fact that the BLM agents dressed in SWAT gear perpetrated the only violence in the entire incident must be suppressed. The fact that Gov. Sandoval condemned the federal agent’s aggressive actions cannot be cited. There can be no mention of First Amendment Zones, or the suppression of the press.
