Just in case you didn't hear - Occupation in Nashville has won an incredible legal victory over the Governor and other authorities - a Federal Judge in Nashville accepted their lawsuit [which will be visited in Court in 21 days], but [get this!] issued after a 12 minute hearing an injunction against the Governor and the State - prohibiting them from any actions against their occupation for AT LEAST the next 21 days! She further ordered that the Police protect them and not harass nor arrest them! The Judge went on to say that she couldn't think of a better place for local citizens to voice their political grievances than at the Legislative Plaza they now occupy! The UCLA is handling the legal work and they wrote up the 40+ page lawsuit. You can find their lawsuit and all about it on the occupy Nashville webpage. Brilliant victory and a model for most [or all] of the other occupations!
