A Federal Judge in Colombia, South Carolina ruled that Occupy's tents on the State House lawn were integral to their free speech and First Amendment Rights - and thus the State's attempt to have them removed would be denied. The State is now going to pass various laws about use of the lawn around the State House no doubt...and it will soon be back in the same Court...but still for now a VICTORY. Judge understood that a 'similar' protest without the tents was not the same and that they were not camping, but petitioning the Government with their grievances as specified as a Constitutional Right. :dancingman:
