Judge suspects conspiracy between Eric Holder’s DOJ and abortion clinic to violate pro-lifers’ First Amendment rights
West Palm Beach, FL – A federal judge has ended Attorney General Eric Holder’s two-year political prosecution of pro-life educator Mary Susan Pine. Holder accused Pine of obstructing the entrance to an abortion clinic, in violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (“FACE”). Holder sought thousands of dollars in fines against Pine, as well as a permanent injunction banning her from counseling women on the public sidewalk outside the Presidential Women’s Center (“PWC”) abortion clinic, where she has faithfully ministered for over 20 years. Liberty Counsel successfully defended Pine.
In granting summary judgment, Judge Kenneth L. Ryskamp concluded that “the evidence could not lead a rational jury to find that Ms. Pine’s conduct [i.e., having peaceful conversations with clinic visitors on a public sidewalk] constituted a physical obstruction within the meaning of FACE.” He also concluded that the government lacked evidence to prove not just one, but “all three elements of its FACE claim.” Judge Ryskamp chastised Holder for seeking to apply federal law in a clearly unconstitutional manner: “Stretching the terms of FACE to apply to this case … so that a desire to provide people with information about alternatives to abortion constitutes an unlawful motive, would unjustifiably impinge on Ms. Pine’s First Amendment rights.”
The Government’s decision to prosecute Pine despite having no evidence of wrongdoing prompted Judge Ryskamp to suspect a conspiracy at the highest level of the Obama Administration: “The Court is at a loss as to why the Government chose to prosecute this particular case in the first place,” he wrote. “The Court can only wonder whether this action was the product of a concerted effort between the Government and the PWC, which began well before the date of the incident at issue, to quell Ms. Pine’s activities rather than to vindicate the rights of those allegedly aggrieved by Ms. Pine’s conduct.”
Harry Mihet, Senior Litigation Counsel for Liberty Counsel, commented: “This is a tremendous victory not just for Susan Pine, but for the First Amendment and the pro-life movement. Attorney General Holder sought to use federal law as a billy club against pro-lifers, but received instead a clobbering from the very Constitution he had sworn to protect. Freedom-loving Americans everywhere should rejoice.”

It BOGGLES my mind how many areas of the Constitution are violated by the government and the people who took an oath to uphold it. I can only think of two reasons why anyone would do such a thing. Ignorance or treason. Neither is acceptable to the citizens and there is a remedy for both. Education or prosecution. Let our leaders choose and then follow through with the appropriate remedy. And as with the citizens, ignorance of the law should be NO excuse.
This is more than treason, it is the Communist Party Agenda, they have infiltrated the Democrat Party from Chicago, Progressives, using Alinsky rules have acquired positions of authority, how do you think Van Jones got into the WH, a known communist, they have infiltrated our churches, the Unions. They have used the UN Agenda 21 as a vehicle to rob the US blind with the EPA regulations, as the Global warming was a scam by Strong and Soros and Sandors through CCX to trade a new commodity ‘CARBON’, Obama is associated with the Shore View Bank, the washing machine.
You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all the people all the time..Cap and trade was killed in the US, there fore CSX folded, thier grand plans to suck us dry failed, except is Oregon and some New England State, even those States have cheated with that money. Europe on the other hand took the bait hook line and sinker..the green crap and Cap and Trade has put them is hock…much to Georges Soros delight.
It is a good study, to connect the dots, read Obama and the enemies within by Trevor Loudon, and google Agenda 21…we are in the battle of our generation to stop Communists from taking the US without firing a shot, as Nikki said would be done…WAKE UP folks..time to engage!
Yep, you’re absolutely right! And it goes even deeper than just George Soros and the rest you mentioned. Google the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg Group. Every single member of these groups are all in on this deliberate ponzi scheme to bring America to her knees. Some are Communists, others are Marxists, and some, Socialists. It’s all part of the plan to destroy America from the top down, the bottom up and side to side.
The reason why so many of us are being called “conspiracy theorists” is because many of those in the mainstream media are members of one or more of these groups. What they didn’t count on is that citizens are starting to wake up, and that’s why their plans are accelerating. They’re desperate, and they won’t stop at nothing, including re-writing our Constitution via Congressional legislation to fit their agenda.
If holder was a Republician.. The LAMESTREET MEDIA WOULD BE SCREAMING FOR HIS BLOOD…24/7 until he STEPPED DOWN.. So where is the LAMESTREET MEDIA NOW…I only hear CRICKETS FROM THEM…….This mans oath of office is ONE SIDED…Where was he when the New Black Panthers did voter INTIMIDATION..Did he PROSECUTE…NO !!!!Lets go to Fast and Furious. Is he COOPERATING WITH CONGRESS… NO…. As a matter of fact he had all records SEALED on the DEATH of Brian Terry…..Now we found out there is a another gun operation called..”Operation White Gun”..Link below…..

His TREASONOUS ACTIONS ALONE SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO HAVE HIM REMOVED FROM OFFICE……Oh did I say…ONLY A RACIST…WILL CALL ANOTHER A RACIST……
Keep on fighting American Patriots…tell the truth and keep the pressure on these horrible traitors.
Without Christian America there is nothing left of freedom.
Evil, evil man…but a puppet of pure evil nonetheless
I sure salute the victory and hope that it is a start to getting some verdicts in the favor of the public, That above all else will make life better. A few Supreme Court decsions in our favor would be a great thing too. The more the better. We would have a branch of government working for us and that branch is really strong. Let us pray that we have this branch willing to help the people of this nation the forgotten ones in all of this mess. Thank the Lord

Good point. We can’t even indict people for torture but we can assassinate American citizens without due process. Holder’s a terrible Attorney General. Obama needs to replace him in his second term.
