A U.S. Court of Appeals ruling could lead to dismissal of a Westboro Baptist Church lawsuit against St. Charles County, officials said. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit overturned a lower court’s ruling against a City of Manchester ordinance that protects the rights of funeral attendees “to mourn in peace and privacy for a limited time in a limited space.” The court concluded “that Manchester has shown a significant government interest in protecting the peace and privacy of funeral attendees for a short time in limited space.” “This is a great, common-sense decision,” said St. Charles County Executive Steve Ehlmann in a news release. “We’re confident it lays the groundwork for the case against St. Charles County to be …

His attorney says, "This issue has not been finally resolved" moments after the county Republican Central Committee member beat a trespassing charge.
After being acquitted of trespassing charges at the March 17 St. Charles County Republican Caucus, Brent Stafford said he felt vindicated, but sorry he had to go through the trial to begin with. “It was not my actions that put me in this position,” said Stafford, a St. Charles County Republican Committee member. “It was the actions of Eugene Dokes and Bryan Spencer that put me in this position. They didn’t follow the rules.” Stafford blames Dokes, St. Charles County Republican Central Committee chairman, and Spencer, a former committee member, with trying to control the caucus’ outcome and prevent a large group of Ron Paul supporters from controlling the meeting. Dokes had said he was trying to be fair to all those who came to the caucus …

Why distinguish Ron Paulists from the rest of the GOP? They're one and the same. St. Charles County Republicans couldn't buy this kind of PR; a gift that keeps on giving. BTW, stealing political signs is a federal electioneering crime.......if you can prove it. Was the caucus meeting called to order? By what right did Mr. Stafford have to convene the meeting? STP police just enabled Stafford to … more ›
