Members of Occupy Boise today filed an emergency motion for a temporary restraining order in U.S. District Court, and U.S. District Judge Lynn Winmill scheduled a hearing on it for 3 p.m. Friday. Bryan Walker, attorney for the group, said the group is trying to stop the eviction of the Occupy Boise vigil from state property across from the Capitol. “Our point is it's a violation not only of 1st Amendment rights, but 4th Amendment due process rights,” Walker said/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise.

I don’t care either way.

I care! Have you seen the videos of the searches being done at the Capital? I have been to the Capital a number of times and never been subjected to searches of this nature.
Our so-called Conservatives love pulling out the heavy hand of government when it meets their needs.
I hope the Occupy Boise teaches them something about the Constitution and the rights of citizens.
Although I suspect that, in their minds, the Constitution and rights only apply to Republicans.

I have more respect for the occupiers. Hope they win.
