Bush Protestors' Lawsuit
Comments 0 | Recommend 0A Texas couple arrested after refusing to cover T-shirts bearing anti-President Bush slogans have settled their lawsuit against the federal government for $80,000.
In announcing the settlement, the American Civil Liberties Union called it a victory for the First Amendment.
The front of the homemade T-shirts bore the international symbol for "no" superimposed over the word "Bush." The back of Nicole Rank's T-shirt said "Love America, Hate Bush." On the back of Jeffery Rank's T-shirt was the message "Regime Change Starts at Home."
The Ranks were handcuffed and removed from a July 4th, 2004, rally at the West Virginia Capitol in Charleston, where Bush gave a speech.
