Denver Pair Illegally Ejected from 2005 Bush Speech Wins Court Order

Brian Zick

Ann Imse for the Rocky Mountain News reports: Two people ejected from a speech by President Bush in Denver in 2005, allegedly because of an anti-war bumper sticker on a car they drove to the event, won a court order Monday they hope will uncover who gave the order to kick them out. Leslie Weise and Alex Young, two of the three people removed from the taxpayer-funded event, are suing two Denver men for actually ousting them. But they believe a White House official gave the order. via Josh Marshall
